Today on Pinstripe Alley — 5/16/26
The Yankees have been up and down the last week or so, but perhaps just what they need to get rolling again is a date with their crosstown rivals. The Bombers got this Subway Series started off nicely last night, Cam Schlittler shoving (what else is new?) in a straightforward 5-2 victory. They’ll look to […]
Yankees news: Fried to IL, but worst-case scenario avoided
MLB Trade Rumors | Steve Adams: Prior to yesterday’s game, the Yankees placed ace Max Fried on the 15-day injured list with a bone bruise in his left elbow. While, obviously, this isn’t great news, as Fried will not throw for a few weeks before being reevaluated, early indications seem to suggest that he has […]
Cam Schlittler shines, Yankees take down Mets in Subway Series opener
Cam Schlittler is really good at pitching a baseball. The young Yankees standout yet again refused to blink as he continued his domination of the major leagues in his sophomore season. Facing former Yankees closer Clay Holmes to open the 2026 edition of the Subway Series, Schlittler again gave the Yankees a solid performance. That […]
New York Yankees @ New York Mets: Cam Schlittler vs. Clay Holmes
The first Subway Series matchup of the season features a pitching duel that, a few years ago, would have sounded completely ridiculous. Currently the best starter on the Yankees staff, Cam Schlittler enters Friday night looking less like a youngster trying to stick in a rotation and more like a legitimate Cy Young contender, while […]
Yankees place Max Fried on IL with bone bruise on left elbow
As was expected after he exited his Wednesday start early in Baltimore, Max Fried is going on the IL with an elbow injury before the Yankees’ Subway Series showdown tonight against the Mets. The good news is that the southpaw, who underwent Tommy John surgery as a minor leaguer in 2014, appears to have dodged […]
Yankees Mailbag: Warren’s value and the NL’s strength
Good afternoon everyone, it’s time to dive back into the mailbag and answer some of your questions. Remember to send in your questions for our weekly call by e-mail to pinstripealleyblog [at] gmail [dot] com. RememberBobbyMurcer asks: Should Boone consider giving more starts to Escarra given how poorly Wells is performing on offense at the 1/4 […]
If alternate jerseys are inevitable, the Yankees should steal the spotlight in Queens
A little over a month ago, while casually scrolling social media, I was hit with the Fanatics advertisement for the Yankees “Black Out Jersey” and I found myself scrambling to see if there was breaking news that the Yankees had announced an alternate jersey. To my satisfaction I found that this was not a new […]
The Subway Series having real juice again is good for baseball
It doesn’t take a true baseball expert to know that the Yankees and Mets, despite playing just seven miles apart, aren’t true rivals. After all, aside from the exhibition preseason “Mayor’s Trophy” games, they never met each other on a baseball diamond until June 1997 due to MLB’s relatively late introduction of interleague play. The […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Alex Verdugo
The Mookie Betts trade shook the baseball world. A century after dealing away a superstar who helped them win a World Series, the Boston Red Sox did it again. Worse, it seemed as though they didn’t get nearly as much in return as they probably could have for Betts, at that time a four-time All-Star, […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Red Sox lose pitchers’ duel against Phillies
After losing five of six on their road trip so far, the Yankees are set to come back to New York this weekend, albeit to Queens for the Subway Series against the Mets. However before they do that, the Yankees got Thursday off as they try to lick their wounds and get back on track. […]
New York Yankees vs. New York Mets: Series Preview
The Yankees have been sputtering a bit of late, losing five of their last six games while also dealing with injuries, including one to Max Fried that the extent of is not known yet. However, it almost always could be worse, and we just need to look at this weekend’s opponent for an example of […]
Yankees prospects: Oswaldo Cabrera leads RailRiders’ attack on Mets’ Jonah Tong
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 11-3 vs. Syracuse Mets — they really walloped Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong, who allowed more runs (seven) than outs recorded (five) SS George Lombard Jr. 1-6, RBI, GIDP, throwing error — level adjustments are real, and that’s OKRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-5, 2 K, HBP2B Marco Luciano 2-3, HR, BB, 2 RBI, […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley — 5/15/26
The 2026 edition of the Subway Series begins tonight. What else needs to be said? The Yankees and Mets are both really in need of wins, though no matter how much the Rays are currently annoying Yankees fans in first place, the Mets’ record is quite a bit worse. Today on the site, Matt will […]
Yankees news: Offense looking to settle down in Subway Series
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Subway Series kicks off tonight in Queens with both the Yankees and Mets finding themselves out of sorts. The Metropolitans are no longer the worst team in baseball, proudly ahead of the Astros, Rockies, and Angels, but still need to get back on track quickly if they […]
Jazz Chisholm’s contact metrics are at an all-time worst
Among Yankees regulars, only Austin Wells and Ryan McMahon had a lower wRC+ than Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s 72 mark before Wednesday’s game against the Orioles. To say that the second baseman’s season has been a disappointment to this point would be an understatement. Before taking the field on Wednesday, Chisholm’s slash line was at .200/.280/.320 […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Earle Combs
As we saw when the Angels had literally Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout at the same time and couldn’t sniff the playoffs, you need more than just a couple stars to make a good roster in baseball. The “Murderers’ Row” Yankees of the 1920s and ‘30s are a good example. Yes, they had the likes […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Varsho’s slam secures dramatic win for Jays
Wednesday can comfortably be filed away in the “bad” drawer for the Yankees. They mustered just a single hit in a shutout loss to the Orioles, a game in which Max Fried departed early with ever-troubling elbow soreness. The loss keeps them in the hole in the American League East, as they eagerly look to […]
Yankees Sequence(s) of the Week: Will Warren (5/12)
We’re going to try something a little different this time around on Sequence of the Week. Normally, we select a single at-bat or plate appearance from a given game to highlight the sequencing and execution from a Yankees pitcher. However, there were two encounters from the Yankees’ most recent win against the Orioles on Tuesday […]
Yankees prospects: Tarpons’ top of the lineup goes yard in win
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 7-0 vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 0-5, 1 K1B Seth Brown 1-52B Marco Luciano 1-3, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 BB3B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 KDH Ernesto Martinez Jr. 1-4, 1 R, 1 KC Ali Sánchez 1-4, 1 RLF Jonathan Ornelas 2-3, 1 2B, 2 […]
How will the Yankees’ pitching respond to its first stress test?
The last week hasn’t been too kind to the Yankees, as they’ve dropped five of their last six games and seen their offense disappear for most of that stretch. While there’s concerns to be had about the lineup struggling to get going again leading to one of their only losing streaks of the year, they […]
Yankees news: Fried exits with elbow issue
SNY | Alex Smith: The Yankees lost for the sixth time in their last eight games on Wednesday, and that’s not even the worst news: left-hander Max Fried had to leave the game after three innings with left elbow posterior soreness. The pitcher himself told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com that it felt like a hyperextension […]
Yankees lose Fried, game, and series to Orioles
Things stink right now. The Yankee offense has been present for one game out of the last six, and we’re in the dark about the Max Fried’s potential elbow injury. On top of all that, New York lost a game that it felt like they were never involved in in the first place, managing a […]
Max Fried’s elbow injury forces him to leave Wednesday start early
Max Fried only lasted three innings on Wednesday afternoon in Baltimore, indeed seeming to take himself out of the game after the third frame. Down 3-0, the lefty immediately went down the tunnel followed by members of the training staff, and pitching coach Matt Blake tapped Paul Blackburn to come in for longman’s work. Fried […]
