Latest news and updates about the Yankees
Given the forecast in Sarasota, it was always going to be a squeeze to get this Yankees/Orioles game in on Sunday night. Indeed, the heavens opened in the third inning and the rain never stopped. Rather than mill around waiting for a break in the weather that may never have come, both teams decided to […]
It took a while, but the Orioles are finally playing their first night game of spring training, taking on the Yankees under the lights at Ed Smith Stadium in Sarasota. Zach Eflin will make just his second start of spring training and first since his impressive two-inning debut March 5. Orioles beat reporters are generally […]
Editor’s note: We have Yankees in separate games tonight and since we’ve been preparing game threads for the knockout stage of the 2026 World Baseball Classics, we’re blending both together tonight! No need to make people go to separate threads for different conversations at the same time. The Yankees’ spring training game against the Orioles […]
Summoning all the optimism a person can after a 12-1 run loss, the best I could offer in reference to Luis Gil’s disastrous Sunday performance is this: “At least he didn’t walk a boatload of people.” The Yankees’ starter lined up to face a pretty strong Tigers lineup, and his inability to keep the ball […]
The Dodgers’ final Monday of the Arizona portion of their spring training will have them hosting the Milwaukee Brewers at Camelback Ranch. Tyler Glasnow gets the start for the Dodgers, remaining in line for an opening-series start. He tossed 4 1/3 innings his last time out, last Tuesday. Chad Patrick, who finished seventh in National […]

Results be damned, Max Fried was healthy and pitched five-plus frames on Saturday, which is really all we want to see from this team’s current top pitcher. Wrapping up the weekend, the Yankees will play a splt-sqquad doubleheader on Sunday, starting with a matchup against a familiar face on an unfamiliar team. One of the […]
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! This week has been a whirlwind of baseball, filled with spring training games and, of course, the World Baseball Classic. How have the Yankees been spending their time off the diamond? Let’s find out! The WBC Continues […]
In his first year as a full-time starter, Clay Holmes was sturdy, if unspectacular. After eight years of solely relieving (after his first season where he both started and relieved), Holmes made 31 starts in 2025 (plus two relief appearances) good for a 3.53 ERA. That line looks good in insolation, but watching Holmes pitch […]
The annals of baseball history abound with stories of vaunted prospects who never fulfilled their potential. Whether due to injury, work ethic, or simply misplaced projections, these figures serve as cautionary tales to temper our expectations whenever the next “sure thing” breaks onto the scene. A story far less often told is of the player […]
Hello, friends. There are now 11 days remaining until Orioles Opening Day. Another eight exhibition games remain to be played in Florida, plus the home-and-home with the Nationals next Sunday and Monday. That includes a 6:05 game against the Yankees here tonight, the first night game of the spring schedule so far. The game will […]
NJ.com | Randy Miller: The Yankees reassigned four pitchers from spring training camp Saturday morning. The four non-roster invitees — Michael Arias, Kyle Carr, Dylan Coleman, and Dom Hamel — will continue to ramp up at the team’s minor-league complex. Carr, MLB Pipeline’s No. 11 Yankees prospect, is the most touted of the bunch and […]
I think it may be possible there’s some risk in trading for Rockies relievers. The org isn’t exactly known for churning out well-developed arms, and Angel Chivilli is having a nightmare of a spring training. The Yankees got a good start from Max Fried — save one bad frame — and clawed their way out […]
I’m still a little let down after Canada bowed out of the World Baseball Classic yesterday, but the best (and sometimes the worst!) part about baseball is there’s another game today. This time, my attention will be taken up by an exhibition contest between the Yankees and the Phillies, from the Bombers’ spring home in […]
Here are the lineups. For the Phillies: For the Yankees: Let’s talk about it.
Butch Wynegar had such exciting potential when the Twins traded him to the Yankees in 1982. A Rookie of the Year runner-up and already a two-time All-Star catcher at the age of 26, he should have been a foundational piece of the offense alongside Don Mattingly, Dave Winfield, and later Rickey Henderson. Instead, the end […]
Didier Fuentes announced his presence with authority yesterday. It’s only Spring Training, but a 5/0 K/BB ratio will get you noticed. Watch this 98.7 MPH fastball yesterday. Now pair that with this sweeper. Didier definitely showed off the goods yesterday against the Yankees road lineup. It’s definitely enough to get him involved in the Braves’ […]
The Atlanta Braves continued to trim down the roster on Friday, with John Gil and Tayler Scott being the next victims. After these two were reassigned to minor league camp, the Atlanta roster stands at 47. Infielder Gil appeared in 17 games this spring, where he hit .158. He spent most of his time at […]

Good morning everyone, just for the weekend, we’ll be returning to our traditional Today on PSA open thread format. It’s sure to be a busy weekend, with the World Baseball Classic in its knockout rounds, and spring training starting to head towards its end. It’s a funny piece of dissonance, switching from watching high-stakes, high-level […]
The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: Having missed all of last season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, Gerrit Cole is on the comeback trail. The Athletic got a chance to shadow him as he worked out as part of his ongoing rehab, getting a look into the mad man — I say with affection — that […]
The United States advanced to the semifinals of the World Baseball Classic with a 5-3 win over Canada at Daikin Park in Houston on Friday night. Will Smith, who has been splitting catching duties with Cal Raleigh, did not play on Friday. Clayton Kershaw did not pitch in any of the first five games of […]
Happy Friday, all! The Yankees played earlier today in spring training against the Braves, but a few other Yankees are actually playing tonight. And since the World Baseball Classic is now in the knockout stage, how about we have a game thread for tonight’s two contests? First up is the Dominican Republic, who looked an […]
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. XRayReb asks: Which pitcher and position player do you predict will make their MLB debut first? It’s difficult to say, as […]
A rough first inning cost Yankees left-hander Ryan Weathers dearly, as he surrendered four runs in that opening frame in the Bombers’ 7-6 loss at the hands of the Atlanta Braves on Friday afternoon at CoolToday Park in North Port. Things did get interesting in the ninth, though. Atlanta got to the last inning up […]
