Latest news and updates about the Yankees
It’s Rivalry Weekend or whatever — 15 matchups that I guess link two teams that are supposed to be rivals together. Sometimes, this is inherently fun, like when the teams in question are basically co-located and it’s a battle-for-the-jurisdiction of sorts (Mets-Yankees, Cubs-White Sox, and I guess even Angels-Dodgers, sorta). Sometimes, it’s a bit weirder, […]
The Yankees have been sputtering a bit of late, losing five of their last six games while also dealing with injuries, including one to Max Fried that the extent of is not known yet. However, it almost always could be worse, and we just need to look at this weekend’s opponent for an example of […]
Triple-A: Syracuse Mets (21-20) SCRANTON/WILKES-BARRE 11, SYRACUSE 3 (BOX) Well, coming off a stretch of much better results, Jonah Tong had his second truly awful outing of the 2026 season as Syracuse was blown out by the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate. Six of the seven runs that Tong allowed were earned, and he recorded just five […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 11-3 vs. Syracuse Mets — they really walloped Mets pitching prospect Jonah Tong, who allowed more runs (seven) than outs recorded (five) SS George Lombard Jr. 1-6, RBI, GIDP, throwing error — level adjustments are real, and that’s OKRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-5, 2 K, HBP2B Marco Luciano 2-3, HR, BB, 2 RBI, […]
Good morning, Camden Chatters. Today is the start of MLB’s “Rivalry Weekend,” which pits most teams across the league against their closest regional foes. You’ve got the Yankees versus the Mets in the Battle of New York. You’ve got the Rangers versus the Astros in Texas’s Battle of the Boot. You’ve got the, uh, Mariners […]
Free of charge for the discerning reader. Happy birthday to Bill North, and a mighty host of others. Today in baseball history, for example, in 1935 – Lou Gehrig steals home in a 4-0 Yankee win over the Tigers. It is his 15th and last steal of home, all of which were double steals, and other stories as well. Plus, since there […]
The 2026 edition of the Subway Series begins tonight. What else needs to be said? The Yankees and Mets are both really in need of wins, though no matter how much the Rays are currently annoying Yankees fans in first place, the Mets’ record is quite a bit worse. Today on the site, Matt will […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The Subway Series kicks off tonight in Queens with both the Yankees and Mets finding themselves out of sorts. The Metropolitans are no longer the worst team in baseball, proudly ahead of the Astros, Rockies, and Angels, but still need to get back on track quickly if they […]
Among Yankees regulars, only Austin Wells and Ryan McMahon had a lower wRC+ than Jazz Chisholm Jr.’s 72 mark before Wednesday’s game against the Orioles. To say that the second baseman’s season has been a disappointment to this point would be an understatement. Before taking the field on Wednesday, Chisholm’s slash line was at .200/.280/.320 […]
As we saw when the Angels had literally Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout at the same time and couldn’t sniff the playoffs, you need more than just a couple stars to make a good roster in baseball. The “Murderers’ Row” Yankees of the 1920s and ‘30s are a good example. Yes, they had the likes […]
Wednesday can comfortably be filed away in the “bad” drawer for the Yankees. They mustered just a single hit in a shutout loss to the Orioles, a game in which Max Fried departed early with ever-troubling elbow soreness. The loss keeps them in the hole in the American League East, as they eagerly look to […]
We’re going to try something a little different this time around on Sequence of the Week. Normally, we select a single at-bat or plate appearance from a given game to highlight the sequencing and execution from a Yankees pitcher. However, there were two encounters from the Yankees’ most recent win against the Orioles on Tuesday […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: W, 7-0 vs. Syracuse Mets SS George Lombard Jr. 0-5, 1 K1B Seth Brown 1-52B Marco Luciano 1-3, 1 2B, 1 R, 1 BB3B Oswaldo Cabrera 2-4, 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 KDH Ernesto Martinez Jr. 1-4, 1 R, 1 KC Ali Sánchez 1-4, 1 RLF Jonathan Ornelas 2-3, 1 2B, 2 […]
Hello, friends. You know what? Things are a lot more fun when the Orioles beat the Yankees than when they lose to them. I know, I know, I’m making a radical statement there. It is the truth. Yesterday’s 7-0 win, in which the O’s managed to one-hit a suddenly-staggered New York team, sealed a series […]
The last week hasn’t been too kind to the Yankees, as they’ve dropped five of their last six games and seen their offense disappear for most of that stretch. While there’s concerns to be had about the lineup struggling to get going again leading to one of their only losing streaks of the year, they […]
SNY | Alex Smith: The Yankees lost for the sixth time in their last eight games on Wednesday, and that’s not even the worst news: left-hander Max Fried had to leave the game after three innings with left elbow posterior soreness. The pitcher himself told Bryan Hoch of MLB.com that it felt like a hyperextension […]
Wow. So it turns out that, on any given day, even the Orioles are capable of looking like a behemoth. Despite the fact that inclement weather forced a time change for Wednesday’s series finale, and that they were facing a team that had demolished them 39-9 in a series sweep last week, the Birds were […]
Things stink right now. The Yankee offense has been present for one game out of the last six, and we’re in the dark about the Max Fried’s potential elbow injury. On top of all that, New York lost a game that it felt like they were never involved in in the first place, managing a […]
After that skid in Milwaukee, the Yankees have the chance to get right back on the horse today with a series win over Baltimore. First pitch time has been moved up from 6:35pm to 1:05pm this afternoon with fears of some nasty weather tonight, but we’re all hoping for some nasty pitching from Max Fried […]
After a four-game sweep in the Bronx last week, I was in no hurry to see the Orioles face the Yankees again. This time it’s gone better, although far from great. In Game 1, the O’s snatched a late win, with Coby Mayo going yard after his team had been no-hit for six innings. But […]
John Ryan Murphy: a name that lives rent-free in my brain. Why? No one knows, other than the fact it sounds more like a nursery rhyme than the name of a former big-league catcher. Murphy was once on the long list of Yankees right-handed catchers. Remember those days when Francisco Cervelli was the primary catcher, […]
The Yankees broke their losing streak on Tuesday, besting Baltimore 6-2 thanks to a five-run third inning. Trent Grisham punctuated the rally with a three-run blast off of Trevor Rogers, who has looked nowhere close to the dominant form he displayed for the O’s in 2025. The rest of the league was back in action […]
SB Nation is excited to share a new job posting for Pinstripe Alley: Team Site Producer. This is a new position that will oversee Pinstripe Alley, shaping our daily coverage of the Yankees, growing the audience here – that’s you, reading this – and helping our team of writers to continue delivering smart Yankees coverage.

The San Francisco Giants had a good time in Southern California on Tuesday night, beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-2. In a statistic that almost defies reality, the Giants are now 4-1 against the two-time defending champions … and just 14-23 against the rest of the league. But that wasn’t the only fun that was […]
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, […]
