Today on Pinstripe Alley – 6/28/26
Where oh where have the bats gone? The simplest answer is “The Injured List”, but the Yankees previously had been able to keep producing runs even after seeing some huge bats go down. Their luck has run out lately, however, with the team’s wounded lineup now struggling at the end of June and giving fans […]
Yankees news: Cole can cope with commonplace stuff
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Although Gerrit Cole’s Saturday start at Fenway was far from a success, it wasn’t without some positives. After giving up a two-run double to Willson Contreras in the third inning, Cole reportedly changed his approach, accepting that he didn’t have his best stuff and forgoing precise command for aggressively attacking the […]
The Yankees All-June Birthday Team
Back in August, I began a series here at Pinstripe Alley where I was going to put together an All-Star Yankee team of players who were born in a given month. Since then, we as a staff have started doing daily posts for the year 2026, highlighting a Yankee from history whose birthday happens to land on that […]
Yankees’ Fenway futility in June continues with third straight defeat
The thing about June is that it is just June. The losses the Yankees have suffered at the hands of the last-place Red Sox have been equal parts dull and maddening, but they are ultimately just losses in June. Even after this 4-1 loss on Saturday afternoon, they are at worst in a tie for […]
New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox: Gerrit Cole vs. Jake Bennett
After stumbling to a series-opening loss to the Red Sox on Thursday, the Yankees found themselves completely shut down by Payton Tolle as the Red Sox jumped on a struggling Will Warren to clinch a breezy 6-1 victory. They’ve guaranteed themselves at least a series split; now it’s up to the Bombers to claw back […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Eric Reyzelman
One of the joys of this here daily birthday series is that we get to see nearly every corner of the Yankees’ history. Yesterday’s entry featured the incomparable Derek Jeter, an inner-circle Hall of Famer, 14-time All-Star, and five-time World Series winner, while today’s will see a 2022 fifth-round draft pick, who has yet to […]
Yankees and Red Sox feature former catchers-turned elite first basemen
As the Yankees and Red Sox meet on opposite ends of the American League East standings, neither team can afford to even contemplate where they’d be without the production of their first basemen. For the Yankees, Ben Rice has been the team’s best hitter on the season, and the same can be said of his […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays back within a game of AL East lead
The Yankees were asleep at the wheel last night, getting retired in order through five innings before finally getting a hit in the sixth, and losing a 6-1 dud in Boston. I will be upfront in that I had other plans and was spared from watching it, but from what I’ve gathered and reviewed, I […]
Why is José Caballero getting caught stealing?
When it comes to stolen bases, José Caballero ranks among the best in the business. In each of the past two seasons, the speedy shortstop/utilityman led the American League in steals, with 44 with Tampa Bay in 2024 and 49 between the Rays and Yankees last season. He accomplished this feat despite playing in only […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 6/27/26
The Yankees came into Boston on the heels of a solid series win in Detroit, looking primed to bury their rivals, who entered in last place in the AL East. Instead, things are feeling a little June Swoony, with the Yankees’ offense looking like they miss Aaron Judge over the last week or so. The […]
Yankees news: Grisham on the comeback trail
New York Post | Greg Joyce: Trent Grisham met the Yankees at Fenway Park Thursday to take the next step in his recovery from a hamstring strain. The center fielder took BP and did some fielding drills, a first step before a (likely brief) rehab stint to slated begin soon. Grisham, who’s been out since […]
Red Sox no-hit Yankees into sixth in feeble loss at Fenway
Payton Tolle last faced the Yankees on April 23rd, when he held them to a run on just three hits in six innings, tallying a career-high 11 strikeouts. It’s hard to think that he could improve on that outing, but he took things to another level tonight, logging one of the most dominant performances by […]
New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox: Will Warren vs. Payton Tolle
What do the Yankees have in store for us tonight after a sloppy effort in the opener at Fenway? Hopefully they have cleaned up their act after committing four errors leading to six unearned runs scoring. All units were to blame, not just the defense, with multiple HBPs and many runners stranded. It’ll take a […]
Yankees Mailbag: Weighing a Tarik Skubal pursuit
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. Michael R. asks: What’s going on with Dax Kilby? Is he in a witness protection program? Last I heard it was […]
The Yankees’ bullpen isn’t elite, but it’s solid
It’s approaching the halfway point of the season, and we have a pretty good idea of who these Yankees are. Their starting rotation is a top-five group in Major League Baseball, possessing both elite talent at the front and enviable depth at the back. The offense is a bit more top-heavy, but still plenty powerful, […]
Do the Yankees really swoon in June?
For all but one year of the Aaron Judge era, the Yankees have been pretty good. They’ve won at least 90 games in seven of the eight full seasons since he ushered in a new era of contention in the Bronx in 2017, with the lone exception being the 2023 season, where poor roster construction […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Ryan Weathers (6/24)
The Yankees rebounded from a recent three-game losing streak to secure the final two games of their series against the Tigers. They couldn’t keep that momentum rolling into the series opener against the Red Sox as countless mental errors piled up en route to a 6-3 loss. As such, we have to go back to […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Derek Jeter
We use these daily posts to revisit the biographies of Yankees past, from the stars that delivered 27 World Series titles or those that have been nearly forgotten to history. Today we celebrate a player that everyone should be familiar with, the Captain that took over the mantle from Don Mattingly and led the club […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Caminero puts a hurtin’ on Kansas City
The Yankees lost some ground in the American League East on Thursday. A tough loss in Fenway, combined with a dominant win by the Rays brings New York’s division lead down to 2.5 games. The day’s short schedule still provided plenty of pop, excellent pitching, and plenty to pay attention to around the American League. […]
The Yankees Rotation Depth Inventory: June
Throughout the course of a season, attrition will strike any major-league roster. The unit most vulnerable is often the starting pitching corps. The Yankees began the year without Gerrit Cole, Carlos Rodón, and Clarke Schmidt, and while Cole and Rodón are back, the team has since lost Max Fried to injury. In the event that […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 6/26/26
The Yankees dropped their series opener against the Red Sox in a rather sloppy effort, with several errors culminating in Cam Schlittler allowing a four-run fifth inning capitalized by a big two-run home run off the bat of former Yankee prospect Caleb Durbin. That blew what was a 2-0 New York lead up until that […]
Yankees news: MLB drops bombshell CBA terms
CBS Sports | Dayn Perry: I’m sure you’ve heard by now MLB’s latest offer in ongoing CBA talks. The league proposes caps on free agent contracts, “hometown” or a Bird Rule-esque advantage for teams to retain their own players by adding an additional year to those capped contracts, and setting a slightly higher MLB minimum […]
Sloppy Yankees lose an ugly one in Boston
The Yankees and Red Sox entered this four-game series at Fenway Park on opposite sides of the spectrum, as they had the best record in the American League at 48-31 while Boston entered dead last at 32-46. Nonetheless, the script was flipped on Thursday night with New York looking the part of a shakier team […]
