Latest news and updates about the Yankees
The Yankees were one of the first teams in action yesterday, and quickly set about making the Royals one of the first teams out of action. It all turned into the Yanks’ first big blowout of the year, as they smoked KC with four homers in a 13-4 score. Huzzah! The only downside was that […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 4-9 (7) and L, 4-7 (7) at Syracuse Mets Game 1: LF Jasson Domínguez 1-4, 1 RBISS Oswaldo Cabrera 0-32B Max Schuemann 1-2, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 2 R, 1 BB, 1 SBCF Spencer Jones 0-3, 1 KRF Yanquiel Fernández 1-2, 1 RBI, 1 BBDH Seth Brown 0-3, 1 K1B Ernesto […]
The Yankees finally got some home cooking going on Saturday, putting a beatdown on the Royals to the tune of 13 runs while Will Warren made it a worry-free day tossing seven innings and striking out 11 batters. Cody Bellinger slugged two home runs on the day, Ben Rice made it three straight days with […]
SNY | John Flanigan: Will Warren dominated the Royals Saturday, holding them off the board into the seventh inning to continue an encouraging start. “The four-seam was really playing well,” Aaron Boone said of his second-year starter. “He got a lot of swing-and-miss, the changeup was good today too, I just think it was the overall mix […]
The Royals will probably win another game this year, but you’d be forgiven if you doubted it. Royals fans were hoping for a different result from the previous six games, and it was different, alright, just not the way they hoped. The Royals were blown out in New York. The Yankees hit four home runs […]
Their overall record is still fine, but the Yankees have struggled of late. Even a lot of their wins have required comebacks or them holding on for dear life over the final couple outs. That included Friday night’s series-opening win over the Royals. On Saturday afternoon in the Bronx, the Yankees finally played a laugher. […]
After an overall annoying series against the Angels, last night’s game was trending towards being annoying too, with the Yankees tied with the Royals in the eighth inning. Enter Ryan McMahon of all people. The embattled third baseball hit his first home run of the season at the best possible time, as his late two-run […]
The Royals have lost five in a row, including every game on this road trip. But today is a new day. And today could be the start of a long winning streak! It could happen! Manager Matt Quatraro seems to be feeling the pressure to shake his team out of their funk, if the lineup […]
The fact that this conversation is happening—even externally—is great news. The Yankees have a young, exciting, and highly talented player whose services they’d probably like to retain for a long time. This is not a luxury every organization has, obviously, and extending that relationship is something the Yankees should seriously consider with Cam Schlittler. Extensions […]
Of all the players who donned the pinstripes, Dennis Rasmussen was certainly one of them. If we’re only looking at the numbers, he was a pretty forgettable starter who was often competent but rarely dominant. And as he played for the good-but-not-good-enough Yankees of the mid-80s, he has no rings nor legendary postseason exploits to […]
It took some unexpected heroics from Ryan McMahon, but the Yankees picked up a much-needed victory in their series opener against the Royals. Having just played a very frustrating series against the Angels, the last thing they needed was a dumb loss to open the set against Kansas City. While the Yankees wouldn’t lose any […]
Yesterday afternoon, the baseball world received stunning news. Former Angels outfielder Garret Anderson, who earned three All-Star nods, won the 2003 Home Run Derby and All-Star Game MVP, had the game-winning hit in 2002 World Series Game 7, and sits atop the Angels franchise leaderboards in several categories, passed away at just 53 years old, […]
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 3-5 at Syracuse Mets DH Jasson Domínguez 2-5, RBI, 2 KSS Oswaldo Cabrera 1-4, HR, BB, RBI, 2 K — second dinger of 2026 for WaldoCF Max Schuemann 0-4, KLF Spencer Jones 1-2, HR, BB, RBI, HBP — and no. 4 for Jones, 419 feetRF Yanquiel Fernández 0-3, BB1B Seth Brown […]
MLB.com | Sarah Langs: While it was overshadowed by Mike Trout’s homer spree, Judge and Stanton both homered in Thursday’s 11-4 loss against the Angels, marking the 61st time that they homered in the same game as teammates. With that, they are now tied for sixth place on the all-time list, sharing a spot with […]
Even after last year’s trade with the Rockies, we all should’ve known to some degree that Ryan McMahon wasn’t exactly going to be an Alex Rodriguez-type of third baseman at the plate. That being said, his struggles to start 2026 have gone way below what anyone could’ve reasonably hoped for. He’s even lost a lot […]
There is never a good time to play the Yankees, one of MLB’s most consistently good teams throughout its long history. But the Royals still have to do it. From a certain perspective, maybe this is a good time to face them; if you’re already losing, what’s a few more losses? Then, when you get […]
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. Chip23 asks: Is George Lombard Jr. the Yankees’ starting third baseman by the middle of July? Lombard is certainly carving up […]
As the ball flew and dunked into the left-center field grass, a sense of disbelief washed over me. What I thought was going to be another out in a long list of them became a game-winning double, as Jazz Chisholm Jr. tied the game for the Yankees and Austin Wells snuck his foot under the […]
The Royals have stumbled out to a 7-12 start and are winless on this road trip as they travel to the Bronx. The Yankees are always expected to be one of the top teams to contend for a title, although a championship has eluded them now for 16 seasons. They got off to a great […]
Some players leave their mark on one sport. Zack Clayton somehow managed to leave fingerprints on three: baseball, basketball, and boxing. Long before he stood in the ring for Muhammad Ali and George Foreman’s “Rumble in the Jungle,” and decades before the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame enshrined his basketball greatness, Clayton spent part […]
The Yankees were Mike Trout-ed once again on Thursday. The future Hall-of-Famer walked twice and homered for the fifth (!!) time of the series. Against a not-great Angels team, the Bombers could only manage a split in the four-game series at home. But, life goes on, as does other action around the American League. Let’s […]
Earlier this week, the Yankees picked up a split in their series against the Angels, but it was a lot of work to get there. The two wins required ninth inning comebacks, while the two losses were both of the very dumb variety. With that over, the Yankees will remain home and welcome the Royals […]
The Yankees wrapped up a four-game set with a split series on Thursday, dropping a game that spiraled out of control late and ended up an ugly 11-4 loss. Truth be told, the series ended in a split was extremely fortunate compared to how well the Yankees played this week, as their two wins were […]
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: The day after finding out Gerrit Cole is headed to Double-A to begin his rehab assignment, we got some details. Cole’s pitch count is expected to be in the mid-40s and the Yankees plan to build him to a “higher threshold” during his rehab then be conservative with […]
Some losses are harder than others and some splits feel more like a loss than a tie. For the Yankees on Thursday afternoon, a series filled with emotional swings finally tipped the wrong way, as a game that felt within reach for much of the afternoon slipped into a lopsided loss by the end. After […]
