Yankees news: Early struggles and other musings from the young season

The Athletic | Chris Kirschner: Over the weekend, the Yankees faced the Marlins, and Miami have been doing something you might not have realized. Starting towards the end of last season, the Marlins have begun calling pitches in the dugout via the coaching staff and relaying them to the catcher and the pitcher. Don’t expect […]

Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request

The first home series of the year is in the books, and the Yankees have continued to excel in the early going. New York owns the best record in the American League, tied for the best in baseball, and while it’s quite early to be scoreboard watching it is notable to point out that they’ve […]

Assessing expectations against struggling stars

Baseball is such a peculiar sport. The Chicago White Sox just swept the Toronto Blue Jays, and that’s indicative of exactly diddly squat about those two teams. What we know for a fact is that no matter the campaign the Blue Jays will have had at the end of the year, it’ll be possible to […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ken Clay

As we here at Pinstripe Alley continue to do our daily feature highlighting a Yankee birthday of the day, we’re probably going to come upon situations where someone we write about happens to have been in the news recently. In today’s case, it was for a sad reason. Today’s birthday is Ken Clay, who sadly […]

Yankees prospects: Spencer Jones’ slam leads Scranton blowout

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 16-5 at Rochester Red Wings LF Jasson Domínguez 2-6, 2 RBI, 2 K2B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-5, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 3 R, 1 BBCF Spencer Jones 1-5, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 2 R, 3 K — fifth inning grand slam made the lead nice and comfortableRF Yanquiel Fernández 2-6, 1 3B, […]

How concerning is the Yankees’ bullpen?

The Yankees have gotten off to a 7-2 start, the best in the American League, and there’s obviously a lot going well to support that strong record. However, a perfect team the Yankees have not been, and the flaws have been notable especially in their two losses: the bottom of their lineup hasn’t given them […]

Yankees news: Stanton shows off small ball skills

MLB | Bryan Hoch: Who said Giancarlo Stanton was just a stationary slugger? In Saturday’s 9-7 comeback win against the Marlins, Stanton showed that he has more tools in his bag besides clobbering homers. After drawing a leadoff walk in the seventh inning, Stanton took advantage of the Marlins’ lax defense and stole his first […]

Bullpen can’t hold lead, Yankees fall to Marlins

And on the third start did his ERA rise. Yes, Max Fried finally allowed a man to score, indeed early in Sunday’s rain-delayed series finale with the Marlins. The game started three and a half hours after the scheduled first pitch time, and maybe that delay took a little off Fried’s game. His control wasn’t […]

Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Let the good times roll

It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! When we last met, the Yankees had gotten off to a strong start, sweeping the San Francisco Giants while allowing just one run in three games. Since then, the vibes have continued to be great, for […]

New York Yankees vs. Miami Marlins: Max Fried vs. Pete Fairbanks

The Yankees won the longest nine-inning game of the young season last night, a three-hour, 49-minute slugfest that put them up two games to none in this weekend series against the Marlins. Should fatigue be setting in, the club has the right starter on the mound to go for the sweep, with Max Fried toeing […]

What makes the Yankees more than just Aaron Judge and a bunch of scrubs

The Yankees’ road to the postseason is clear. They either get a full, healthy, good season from Aaron Judge, in which case they should skate in, or they don’t, in which case things get a lot darker. It isn’t just local radio hosts saying that the Yankees are relying heavily on Judge; in his writeup […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Wid Conroy

The early years of the Yankees’ franchise famously weren’t great until they acquired a certain Babe Ruth. There were some good seasons here and there, occasional pennant chases, and a few superb individual seasons. They just never got to the World Series or brought home a title until Ruth began donning the pinstripes in the […]

The Yankees can make it late early in April

Yes, it’s true that you can’t win a division in April. In the season’s first week and a bit, though, the Yankees have done their very best. Writing ahead of Saturday evening’s (ultimately successful) showdown with the Marlins, New York was a sterling 6-1, the best record in baseball behind a staff that’s been very […]

Yankees prospects: Xavier Rivas strikes out five in a row in Double-A debut

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 4-3 at Rochester Red Wings — the report is that Luis Gil will start today for Scranton and then return to the Yankees’ rotation once the fifth starter’s spot comes up Friday LF Jasson Domínguez 1-3, 2B, BB, K — double off a leftySS Oswaldo Cabrera 0-42B Max Schuemann 1-3, BB, […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 4/5/26

At the end of the season, all the wins count the same. Whether it involves a triple-grand-slam blowout with 22 runs, a 1-0 near-perfecto, or a game you never should’ve won but was handed to you with a last-second error, they’re generally all equal. Call last night’s Yankees win over the Marlins something closer to […]

Yankees news: Luis Gil’s 2026 Yankee debut set for Friday

MLB | Bryan Hoch: After beginning 2026 at Triple-A with a packed house in the rotation, 2024 AL Rookie of the Year Luis Gil is set to make his season debut this coming week. Gil is scheduled to start today for Scranton/Wilkes-Barre (his first appearances this year) and will then pitch for the Yankees on […]

Yankees take down Marlins in comeback win behind scrappy Giancarlo Stanton

In Saturday night’s game thread, we mentioned how Giancarlo Stanton hadn’t had much success against his former team, but in this back-and-forth affair, the game-winning at-bat came from the Yankees’ DH. Stanton drove in a pair in the eighth inning with a single to give the Yankees the lead in what ultimately became a 9-7 […]

New York Yankees vs. Miami Marlins: Ryan Weathers vs. Max Meyer

As far as regular-season games go, this one is as big as it’s gotten so far for Ryan Weathers, personally. The newest member of the Yankee rotation will pitch for the first time in front of his new home crowd and will do so against none other than his former team, the Miami Marlins. This […]

Current RailRiders share experiences at this year’s World Baseball Classic

Raul Dominguez is back with the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders this season. He was on the RailRiders staff for the 2021 and 2022 seasons before being named manager of the New York Yankees’ Double-A affiliate, the Somerset Patriots, in 2023. In three seasons, he compiled a 232-180 record and took the Patriots to the Eastern League playoffs […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Cameron Maybin

The 2019 Yankees were a very odd team. They had a number of players come somewhat out of nowhere to put up solid seasons, and often in response to another member of the team going down with an injury. Cameron Maybin was one of those who stepped up. Having been a cash considerations pickup early […]
