Yankees prospects: Week 20 minor league recap

We’ve reached a big part of the minor league calendar, as this past week marked the debuts of eight members of the Yankees’ 2026 draft class in A-ball, which also coincided with a number of position player promotions. While the prep bats and all pitchers will likely be held back until 2027, it’s a great […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Melky Cabrera

As someone who was perhaps the perfect age for the Yankees’ 2009 World Series win, it’s difficult to come up with many players more fondly remembered from those days than Melky Cabrera. A fleet-footed outfielder who had plenty of great moments in New York, and later broke out in his post-Yankee days, Cabrera was an […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays storm back late in Sacramento

After taking two of three from the Braves, the Yankees enjoyed a day off on Monday before welcoming the Mariners into town. It was a mostly full day of baseball beyond them, with plenty of important games coming down to the ninth inning and beyond. Between never-before-seen calls and extra innings, let’s take a look […]

New York Yankees vs. Seattle Mariners: Series Preview

After three straight series against the Senior Circuit, the Yankees welcome the Mariners to the East Coast. The Bombers had an off day on Monday after dropping the series finale against the National League East-leading Atlanta Braves. The Yankees continue to hold serve as they wait for reinforcements to arrive, posting a 5-5 mark over […]

Yankees prospects: Bombers erupt for 17 runs in blowout win

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Off-day Double-A Somerset Patriots: Off-day High-A Hudson Valley Renegades: Off-day Low-A Tampa Tarpons: Off-day Florida Complex League Yankees: Season over Dominican Summer League Yankees: W, 2-0 (7) at DSL Cardinals CF Isaias Castillo 1-3, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 KSS Stiven Marinez 1-3, 1 2B, 2 K2B Juan Torres 0-3C […]

How does the Yankees’ rotation stack up in the AL?

The Yankees were off yesterday, but they’ve got a bit of a gauntlet coming up. After this upcoming series against the Mariners, four of their next five opponents will all come from the AL East, and the one team separating them are the AL West-leading Astros. A majority of that stretch is going to be […]

Yankees news: Chisholm, rest of squad “incredibly frustrated”

New York Daily News | Gary Philips: Jazz Chisholm Jr. has lost himself a considerable amount of money in his pending free agency with his downright bad 2026. The Yankee second baseman has managed just a 92 wRC+ with a career high strikeout rate, and of course self-proclaimed that he’d be able to land a […]

VOTE: Which fallen Yankees prospect has a better future on the team in 2027?

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Yankees fans and fans across the country. When the Yankees sent down Jasson Domínguez and Anthony Volpe last week, it felt like it might have been the end of an (abbreviated) era. The […]

Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request

Fresh off of the Trade Deadline, the Yankees have had an interesting week. They dropped a series to the Cardinals where their offense exploded in the opener only for the bullpen to have a rare disappointing performance and then disappeared for the next two games, bringing them into a series with a red-hot Atlanta team […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Gerald Williams

While he might be a name that you associate with the good years of the 1990s Yankees, Gerald Williams never played on a Yankees’ championship team. (He was on the 1996 Yankees, but was traded away during the season, although he was awarded a ring.) He had some good seasons, but he was never an […]

How the sinker helped Paul Blackburn transform into a relief ace

Welcome back to our series on the innovations the Yankees pitching department is making with the sinker! They’ve dusted off the pitch from a period of league-wide dormancy and have a renewed focus on disseminating it across as much of their pitching room as are willing to use it. In May, I kicked off the […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: The Rays extend their AL East lead

Sigh. Cam Schlittler goes seven innings, allows only one run to a pretty potent Braves lineup, the bullpen gets six scoreless outs, and the Yankees lose. “You can’t predict baseball, Suzyn.“ Also though. Baseball can be profoundly dumb sometimes. To make matters worse, the Rays won again. That puts the Yanks 5.5 games back of […]

Yankees prospects: McCann’s two homers power thrilling Renegades victory

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 9-8 vs. Rochester Red Wings SS Anthony Volpe 1-5, K — not as exciting as his first game back in Triple-A, but to his credit he legged out what could’ve been an infield single (but was ruled an error) that tied the game as part of a five-run eighthLF Jasson Domínguez […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/10/26

The Yankees came oh-so-close to a scintillating sweep of the Braves, but the offense sputtered once again in another extra-innings loss yesterday. Even so, the series victory over Atlanta did serve as proof of concept. Thanks to their stellar pitching, this offensively limited version of the Yankees very much can beat the best teams in […]

Yankees news: Aaron Boone believes in magic

The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: I wish I believed in anything as much as Aaron Boone believes the Yankees’ offensive woes will just magically fix themselves. Since Tuesday, the day their big trade deadline acquisitions made their debuts, the Yankees have scored just 12 runs in five games. Boone acknowledges this team can be really […]

Yankees squander Cam Schlittler’s gem, fall to Braves in extra innings

“Max Fried and Gerrit Cole combined to allow two runs through 13.1 innings in the opening contests. Should similar events unfold today, a sweep is tantalizingly close.” So said the idiot who authored today’s game thread. And the monkey’s paw curled. Similar events unfolded as Cam Schlittler delivered a masterful performance and the bullpen held […]

New York Yankees vs. Atlanta Braves: Cam Schlittler vs. Grant Holmes

The first two games of this series against Atlanta, the NL East front-runner and a possible postseason opponent should the Yankees go deep in October, have gone almost as well as possible, considering the glaring holes in the New York lineup. Starting pitching has been a huge reason for that success. Max Fried and Gerrit […]

Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Welcome to the Concrete Jungle

It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! The Trade Deadline is in the rearview mirror, a top prospect has made his MLB debut, and the heavens opened up and brought a deluge to the Bronx. And while Yankees fans have certainly made their opinions […]

Carlos Rodón pleased with his rehab outing at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre

MOOSIC, Pa. — It wasn’t about the results. What mattered was how Carlos Rodón felt after making a rehab start Saturday night for the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders against the Rochester Red Wings at PNC Field. Since he felt good, the New York Yankees’ left-hander was satisfied with the outing despite allowing three runs and three […]

Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ralph Houk

The Yankees have had some decent success in replacing franchise cornerstones over the years. Back in the day, they had a run at catcher that, with some small gaps, went from Bill Dickey to Yogi Berra to Elston Howard to Thurman Munson. Their careers overlapped, but Mickey Mantle became the Yankees’ center fielder shortly after […]

Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays win again, but Red Sox finally lose

It wasn’t to the same degree as Friday night, but for the second straight day, the Yankees beat the Braves with some dramatics. Ben Rice’s eighth-inning home run ended up proving the difference, despite an Atlanta rally attempt in the ninth inning. George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones also had nice days, as the Yankees […]

Yankees prospects: Luis Puello homers twice in Tampa win

Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 0-9 vs. Rochester Red Wings 2B Anthony Volpe 1-4, 2B, 2 K — got Scranton’s only XBH; first appearance in the field outside shortstopLF Jasson Domínguez 0-4, 2 K, outfield assistCF Max Schuemann 1-4, 3 K, picked offC J.C. Escarra 0-2, BB, HBPDH Marco Luciano 1-4, KSS Oswaldo Cabrera 0-4, 2 […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/9/26

The good vibes resonated all around Yankee Stadium on Saturday. Old-Timers’ Day has that kind of effect on fans regardless, but unlike in many of the previous recent Old-Timers’ Days (Josh noted that they were 2-8 in their last 10 of ‘em), the modern Yanks showed up. Gerrit Cole was up to the task of […]

Yankees news: Mariano Rivera returns on triumphant Old-Timers’ Day

MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: A year after rupturing his Achilles tendon while chasing down a Willie Randolph fly ball hit to center field, Mariano Rivera marked a successful return to Old-Timers’ Day. The all-time saves leader and Hall of Famer had to undergo surgery to repair the injury and admitted that he “still [has] to […]

Yankees’ rookies lead the way in Old-Timers’ Day win over Atlanta

Baseball’s a funny sport. Old-Timers’ Day activities had us awash in the nostalgia of past Yankee greatness. Chris Sale and Gerrit Cole were starting today, two of the defining pitchers of their rapidly-closing era. Yet as our attention turned to the past, then to the ever-fleeting present, it was the future of the Yankees that […]
