Latest news and updates about the Yankees
Some players are remembered for elegance. Others are remembered for effort. Enos Slaughter belongs in the second category. He built a Hall of Fame career on aggression, hustle, and a willingness to play every moment at full speed, helping create the old baseball belief that the dirtier your jersey was by the end of the […]
All good things have to come to an end, and the Yankees’ winning streak followed that rule as it ended at eight in the series finale against Houston. Luis Gil couldn’t keep the ball in the yard, serving up a pair of two-run shots and getting into further trouble leading to his exit in the […]
Outside that pair of series against the Athletics and Rays, this Yankees team has been pretty adept at quickly brushing off losses. That’s something they’ll look to do in the backend of this road trip after missing out on a sweep opportunity against the Houston Astros. After Luis Gil’s increasingly disappointing efforts on Sunday—ultimately leading […]

Good morning everyone! A longer, original version of this post was lost due to some technical difficulties, so apologies on being at least somewhat brief with the question today. The big news in Yankeeland is that Jasson Domínguez is reportedly on his way back to the Yankees to join his AL East-leading teammates. The erstwhile […]
MLB Trade Rumors | Mark Polishuk: Jasson Domínguez is being called up to the big-league roster from Triple-A ahead of the upcoming series against the Rangers. He fills the spot opened by Luis Gil’s demotion to Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, and could factor into the DH and outfield pictures with Giancarlo Stanton sidelined with a calf injury. After […]
Following a rough start against the Astros on Sunday afternoon in which he surrendered six runs on five hits and three walks in four innings including a pair of early two-run homers, Luis Gil has been demoted to Triple-A Scranton Wilkes/Barre. It is the second time this season he has been optioned to the RailRiders […]
Our Fire TV winning moment: Rob Refsnyder, .38 WPA Setting your TV on fire: Randy Arozarena, -.16 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
The Yankees had already locked up their third-straight series win, but were unable to notch their third consecutive sweep on Sunday in Houston. Astros hitters had a perfect gameplan to attack starter Luis Gil — although they may not have needed one — and the Yankee lineup was unable to counter against Spencer Arrighetti. Even […]
It’s been a good week. The Yankees swept Boston and likely played a non-insignificant role in that org’s excising the majority of its MLB coaching staff (including skipper Alex Cora), and then New York came down to Houston and have taken the first two games against their hated Astros. Last night’s win was driven by […]
The Houston Astros (10-18) will try to salvage a victory in the finale this three-game series opposite the rival New York Yankees (18-9) today at Daikin Park. RHP Spencer Arrighetti, who’s 2-0 with a 2.45 ERA in his two starts this season, will put his perfect record up against RHP Luis Gil (1-1, 4.11 ERA) […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This week, the Yankees took to the road to face a pair of down-on-their luck rivals, heading up north to Boston and south to Houston for the first time this season. As always, with every road […]
When sitting down to write this post, I spent more trying to figure out the introduction than I did everything else. Because how do you introduce Aaron Judge? He’s the Captain of the Yankees, the 3x AL MVP, the American League single-season home run king, the 2017 Rookie of the Year, the most recent Captain […]
Saturday saw the Yankees extend their win streak as they picked up another fairly comfortable win over the Astros. Trent Grisham, José Caballero, and Austin Wells all homered as the Yankees picked up the win to take their eighth consecutive game. The win streak has seen the Yankees vault towards the top of the standings […]

NY Daily News | Gary Phillips: Giancarlo Stanton left Friday’s game in the middle of the sixth inning after feeling tightness in his right calf while running the bases, and the team had an update on his condition ahead of their Saturday victory over Houston. Manager Aaron Boone commented on Stanton’s status, noting that they […]
The Yankees arrived in Houston with all the momentum and a six-game winning streak following a sweep of the now-skipperless Red Sox at Fenway. A couple days later, they’re eyeing yet another dusting of a rival on the road. Behind a poised start from Ryan Weathers and an offense that continues to “have liftoff,” the […]
The Yankees are rolling, and suddenly the offense looks awake again. After a brief April slowdown that had some fans uneasy, New York has responded with the type of outburst everyone had been waiting for. After feasting on the Royals in the Bronx, sweeping Boston at Fenway Park, and then opening the Houston series with […]
The Houston Astros (10-17) will play the second of a three-game series with their heated interdivision rival New York Yankkes (17-9), tonight at Daikin Park. RHP Mike Burrows(1-3 ,6.75 ERA) will make his sixth regular season appearance for the Astros tonight opposite the Yankees and starter RHP Ryan Weathers (1-2, 3.18 ERA). TONIGHT’S STARTER: RHP Mike Burrows is […]
Ryan Weathers is back from the paternity list and will be rejoining the rotation ahead of his start tonight in Houston against the Astros. The corresponding move was to place right-hander Angel Chivilli on the injured list with right shoulder discomfort, retroactive to April 23rd. Asked to fulfill a bigger role early in the season […]
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 […]
If I asked you to name a great single season from a player in Yankees’ history, you can probably come up with a few strong options. That player will probably also be a legend in franchise history. Feats like Joe DiMaggio’s 1941 with his 56-game hitting streak, Aaron Judge’s 62 homers in 2022, and Ron […]
The latest news on the Houston Astros and from around MLB: Some injury updates for the Astros: What’s behind Yordan’s smashing start? Lance McCullers tried something new to get a better start in the 1st inning. It didn’t work: How ugly was it for Lance McCullers Jr. vs. Yankees Friday? Only 5 swings and misses. […]
The Yankees won their seventh straight game on Friday, demolishing the Astros to the tune of 12-4 thanks to the entirety of their infield hitting home runs. The win came with a cost, as Giancarlo Stanton left in the sixth inning after appearing to aggravate something in his leg while running the bases, but the […]
Four weeks into the season, the Yankees are riding high with the best record in the American League. Despite several key starters beginning the year on the IL, their rotation has been excellent and, even with a weeklong swoon, New York’s offense has scored the fourth-most runs in the league. The biggest area of concern […]
