Cam Schlittler, Ben Rice share Player of the Game honors for Yankees’ playoff opener
Last year, Cam Schlittler put in one of the most memorable Yankees’ playoff pitching performances of the century in Game 3 of the AL Wild Card Series against the Red Sox. With the series tied at one and everything at stake, he went eight innings, striking out 12 batters while scattering a couple hits and […]
Yankees electrified the Bronx crowd in the playoff opener against the Red Sox
For much of the week or so building up to the beginning of the MLB playoffs, there was a lot of chatter going on about the postseason format and how goofy it was (to use a kind word) for the second-best team in the American League to be shunted to a Wild Card Series while […]
Yankees news: The Wild Card Series begins
MLB Trade Rumors | Charlie Wright: The big news prior to last night’s matchup with the Boston Red Sox was the expected, yet nonetheless somewhat disappointing, news that Aaron Judge would be left off the Wild Card roster. The right fielder, dealing with a “moderate” right calf strain, will not be eligible to return until […]
Rice and Schlittler carry Yankees to Wild Card win over Red Sox
As we saw in last year’s Wild Card Series matchup against this very Red Sox team, winning Game 1 — even in a best-of-three series — doesn’t actually guarantee you victory. However, you’d still rather win it than not. You’d also especially rather win it in fairly easy fashion and leave your opponent looking for […]
AL Wild Card Series Game 1: Cam Schlittler vs. Payton Tolle
After the 162-game marathon that is the baseball regular season, we have now reached the sprint that is the baseball postseason. Tonight, the Yankees will begin their quest to add another championship to their illustrious history. As always, the road there will be tough, and there’s an added element to this year’s opening series. For […]
Yankees reveal lineup for Wild Card Series Game 1
Playoff baseball is almost upon us, and after finalizing their roster, the Yankees have set their starting nine for Game 1 of the Wild Card Series in the Bronx. It’s a righty-heavy lineup, intentionally aligned to face lefty Payton Tolle, who is slated to make his first career postseason start for the Red Sox. Paul […]
A full breakdown of the Yankees postseason roster for Wild Card Series
The stage is set for the postseason, and the Yankees have confirmed their 26-man roster for the Wild Card Series. First off, it’s worth noting that Trent Grisham and Giancarlo Stanton are activated from the IL while captain Aaron Judge stays sidelined due to his calf injury. Stanton, who hasn’t appeared in a regular-season game […]
The similarities between the 2026 Yankees and Knicks seasons
Ah, playoff baseball. There really is nothing like it. No other sport’s postseason is distinctly embodied in a time of year, but baseball commonly associates the chill of autumn and the month of October with their own march towards a championship. Today, the Yankees’ journey begins, one that could end as soon as Wednesday night […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Shelley Duncan
Every generation has its random breakout journeyman, the guy who comes up, thrusts himself into the limelight with some big performances in key spots, and then, in time, fades into relative obscurity. In the late ‘90s and early 2000s, it was Shane Spencer. For the mid-2010s, Yangervis Solarte and Prestone Claiborne briefly locked down the […]
Yankees leave Aaron Judge off postseason roster, activate Stanton and Grisham
The Yankees will be without captain Aaron Judge as they begin the postseason in the Bronx; however, on a more reassuring note, Giancarlo Stanton and Trent Grisham will make their return from the IL. According to a report from YES Network’s Jack Curry, Judge will not be on the roster for the Wild Card Series […]
Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Ryan McMahon (9/23)
The Yankees’ postseason journey begins tonight, the Bombers facing off against the Red Sox in a rematch of last year’s AL Wild Card Series for their seventh playoff meeting of all time. We’ve got a few more hours to look back at the last week of games, which lets us fit in our final At-Bat […]
Pinstripe Alley’s 2026 MLB playoff predictions
The 2026 Major League Baseball regular season is fully in the rear view mirror and the playoffs begin today. Four games are on deck, starting with Braves and Phillies reigniting their postseason rivalry in Atlanta at 2pm ET. Next up is the .500 AL West champion Astros hosting the most surprising playoff team, the just-recently-doormat […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 9/29/26
At long last, we’ve reached judgment day. Or, perhaps, the first of many days of judgment, pun intended. Today, the Yankees’ 2026 postseason run begins, as the club hopes that this foray into October baseball lasts longer than last year’s did. We will also learn today whether Aaron Judge will be on the playoff roster, […]
Yankees news: Aaron Judge playoff roster debate nears decision
MLB.com | Max Ralph: Last week, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Aaron Judge would miss the Wild Card Series, but the slugger had other plans. Judge himself is aiming to play against the Red Sox and is ramping up baseball activities, as he partook in indoor hitting and throwing on Sunday before participating […]
Yankees ace Cam Schlittler is ‘keeping receipts’ for Wild Card Series preparation
Yankees ace Cam Schlittler is keeping his recent rivalry feud top of mind heading into the Wild Card Series against Boston. Schlittler, who grew up a Red Sox fan in Massachusetts, made headlines since the 2025 Wild Card Series for clapping back at outside noise directed at him, specifically from fans and Boston-based media outlets. […]
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders’ season filled with highlights, memorable moments
Although they missed the playoffs, the season was a successful one for the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders. They finished 78-68 overall — 41-31 in the second half — and were in contention for the postseason until the final weekend. This was the final season that Scranton/Wilkes-Barre will be known as the RailRiders; the team is rebranding next […]
Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request
Here we are, awaiting the start of another postseason run. The Yankees’ season could be over in the next two to three days, or it could take us on a journey through October with the chance to finally deliver that elusive 28th title. Their run will begin as it did last year in the Wild […]
The Yankees’ top defensive plays of September
While the Yankees were ultimately unable to overtake the Tampa Bay Rays for the American League East title and thus the AL’s number one seed, they put together a splendid month of September, finishing 15-8. They did so while navigating a roster that was often in flux, welcoming some players back from stays on the […]
How to watch Yankees vs. Red Sox in AL Wild Card Series: Start times, channels, and more
The MLB postseason is finally upon us, and the No. 4 seed Yankees are kicking things off by facing the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series, just as they did in 2025. New York will end the season at least four games better than Boston, but as they say, all records reset to 0-0 […]
Yankees September Approval Poll: Brian Cashman
The thing about chasing an object is that if it matches your speed, there is really nothing you can do. The New York Yankees learned this hard lesson down the stretch when any goals they had of running down the Rays to at least make it a competitive fight down the stretch fell flat — […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Whitey Witt
World Series champion with the Yankees.Best friends with Babe Ruth.Walter Johnson’s kryptonite. That’s one heck of a three-line resume. It belongs to a diminutive speedster who patrolled center field and held down the leadoff spot for the Yankees in the early 1920s: Whitey Witt. Witt came to New York via Philadelphia after falling out with […]
Why the Yankees can win the World Series
The playoffs are officially here and the Yankees are set to add another chapter to their storied rivalry with the Red Sox. The two teams will face each other in the postseason for the seventh time, this edition a rematch of last year’s AL Wild Card Series. The Yankees advanced in three games as Cam […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Astros, Phillies nail down last playoff spots
Game 162 doesn’t hit quite like it used to with the proliferation of Wild Card spots, but as long as there are still some stakes, it offers some excitement. Selfishly, I always prefer when the Yankees don’t have stakes and I can just neutrally watch the chaos, which is what yesterday at least partially offered […]
Yankees must quiet this Red Sox offense in the Wild Card Series
The Yankees gained an extra day of rest with a nor’easter canceling Game 162 against the Orioles on Sunday. It means they’ll have two days off before opening their 2026 playoff odyssey Tuesday night against the Red Sox in the AL Wild Card Series. Boston has one less day of rest after losing to the […]
Red Sox pitching staff poses problem for Yankees in the Wild Card Series
Last year, the Yankees lost Gerrit Cole, in what was probably the last true year of his prime. A loss like that would reverberate throughout a team’s entire season, usually. Instead, the Yankees more or less recreated Cole in the form of Cam Schlittler, now the favorite for the AL Cy Young and starting Game […]
