We have reached the midway point of the first half of the International League schedule and the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders are in the thick of the race for first place. They entered the week in fifth place with a 20-17 record, four games behind the leading Memphis Redbirds (25-14). The Gwinnett Stripers are second at 24-15, […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 4-7 (13) vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 0-2, 4 BB, K, fielding error — almost the rare extra-inning/no-contact day; also had first error at Triple-A, which sparked Syracuse’s ninth-inning rally to go from trailing 4-2 to a 4-4 tie1B-LF Seth Brown 1-5, HR, BB, RBI, 2 K2B Marco Luciano 1-5, […]
Hey folks, it was a quick turnaround last night on a weeknight and I was at the game, so we’re going to just do a classic “Today on Pinstripe Alley” post today rather than doing a full question exercise. Thanks for understanding! We’ll still have two rapid-fire questions for folks to talk about if they […]
CBS Sports | Mike Axisa: The Yankees recalled Anthony Volpe on Tuesday, giving their erstwhile starting shortstop another opportunity to carve out a role in the big leagues. After struggling on both sides of the ball last year, Volpe underwent shoulder surgery this offseason and began the year on the IL. Once his rehab stint […]
The 2026 Yankees have been masters of the crooked number. The fun comes in bunches this year, and that theme continued in Baltimore on Tuesday night as the Yankees plated five in the third inning en route to a 6-2 series-evening win. Paul Goldschmidt hit a leadoff homer on the game’s first pitch, and Trent […]
I think I speak for everyone here when I hope the 2026 iteration of the Yankees does not prove to be as starkly bipolar as it has been throughout the season’s first month and a half. New York has dropped four consecutive games following a torrid stretch when they briefly had the best record in […]
Man proposes, and the baseball god disposes. While the Yankees seemed content to let former top prospect Anthony Volpe re-discover himself with Triple-A Scranton, an injury to incumbent shortstop José Caballero means that Volpe is heading back to the major-league roster. Cabby was sent back to New York for secondary screening on a finger on […]
The Yankees offense is in a bit of a rut, losing their last four games by scoring three or fewer runs in each. It coincides with a period in which several of their hitters — Ben Rice, Giancarlo Stanton, Jasson Domínguez, and José Caballero — have dealt with or are dealing with minor injuries, but […]
The best stories in sports, no matter what era they come from, exist because of those who battle against the odds. Michael Jordan’s “Flu Game” is so excellent because he fought illness to play in a massive playoff game and lead the Chicago Bulls to victory with 38 points. And while it’s not a flu […]
Just when the Yankees looked like they were beginning to really roll with six consecutive series wins and 15 victories in a span of 17 games, they’ve hit a very annoying wall. They were swept in Milwaukee and the losing streak is now at four in a row after the bullpen blew its third consecutive […]
Another week on the farm is in the books, and there’s big stories at every level. In Scranton, a talented roster tries to steady the ship after being depleted due to big league call-ups. A powerful lineup continues to mash in Somerset, while Hudson Valley’s pitching staff continues to round into form. Down at the […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Offday Double-A Somerset Patriots: Offday High-A Hudson Valley Renegades: Offday Low-A Tampa Tarpons: Offday Florida Complex League Yankees: W, 8-1 vs. FCL Tigers 3B Richard Matic 2-3, 2 R, 1 BBRF Wilberson De Pena 0-4, 2 KC Queni Pineda 0-3, 1 R, 1 BB, 2 K2B Leni Done 2-3, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R, 1 […]
The Yankees lost again on Monday, but that was through no fault of starting pitcher Ryan Weathers who had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning before a leadoff single began the rally that ultimately put them behind for good. Weathers was removed with no chance at being charged with the loss, having surrendered that […]
ESPN: Adding injury to the insult of getting swept in Milwaukee this weekend, José Caballero hurt his finger in the series finale. “There is definitely some concern,” opined Aaron Boone Monday when asked, and the shortstop was out of the starting lineup Monday, though he pinch-ran in the ninth and got caught stealing to seal […]
Sometimes you just have to tell yourself it’s a long, long season. These are one of these days. After a mildly depressing sweep at the hands of the Milwaukee Brewers over the weekend, the Yankees’ offense looked to break out against a pitching staff with considerably less firepower, one which they dominated last week in […]
The Yankees are dealing with their fair share of injuries these days, but most of them are cases that they have known about for a while and are currently rehabbing or working their way back. There were no new concerns… until Monday. Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reported that infielder José Caballero, […]
It was an ugly weekend in Milwaukee for the Yankees, as they suffered their second series sweep of the season at the hands of a stout Brewers team that overwhelmed them with some sensational pitching and out-executed them late in games. Let’s chalk it up to revenge from Torpedo-gate. A new series begins today in […]
It was an up-and-down week for New York, starting off strong by completing a four-game sweep of the Orioles before winning another series against Texas, but they were knocked down a peg by the Brewers as they got swept out of Milwaukee. They got thoroughly dominated by Jacob Misiorowski in the opener but then dropped […]
While the Yankees didn’t get the result they wanted, falling in a one-run game against the Brewers, it was encouraging seeing Carlos Rodón back on a big league mound, regardless of the outcome. Rusty, as to be expected for someone coming from such a lengthy absence, Rodón battled himself on top of a dangerous Milwaukee […]
I do my best to try and avoid ever thinking about the Tampa Bay Rays, but they have forced themselves upon my attention with some excellent play across the season’s first quarter. I’m writing this as Logan Henderson delivers his first pitch to Trent Grisham, and Tampa’s .658 winning percentage has them nominally atop the […]
The 1989 Yankees were a mostly forgettable squad. Situated squarely within the late-80s decline that came before the dynasty years of the late ‘90s, the ‘89 team combined lengthy winning and losing streaks to reach the All-Star Break with a 43-43 record — good for second in the AL East, 5.5 games behind the division-leading […]
I’d prefer to not talk about the entire weekend as it pertains to baseball. The Yankees got utterly spanked in Milwaukee, suffering their second sweep of the season. For that reason alone there was very little to cheer about the past few days. But to make it worse, the godforsaken Tampa Bay Rays continued their […]
To kick off the week, the Yankees will head back to the East Coast for a three-game set with the Orioles. For the most part, the American League in 2026 can reasonably be described as “unimpressive,” a description the Yankees are mostly exempt from, but describes Baltimore’s season fairly well. At 18-23, they are already […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 3-2 at Worcester Red Sox — this win gave Shelley Duncan 500 career managerial wins! 3B George Lombard Jr. 0-3, BBSS Anthony Volpe 0-4, K — all still waiting on this infield duo at the top of the order to come alive2B Marco Luciano 0-3, BBRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-4, HR, 2 RBI, […]
The rise of Cam Schlittler has not just been one of the most thrilling Yankees stories to watch over the last year, but one of the best stories in all of baseball. Once a mid-rotation starter with modest fastball velocity in college, Schlittler has transformed into a monster, a fire-breathing dragon of a pitcher that […]
