Every day, Pinstripe Alley offers updates on what the Yankees’ top American League opponents are up to through the Rivalry Roundup. The AL East is well-trodden ground there, but with the end of the month upon us, we’re going to take a peek around MLB as a whole and check in with each of the other five […]
Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal could be on the move prior to the Aug. 3 MLB trade deadline, but the New York Yankees may not be his most likely landing spot.
The first half of the season has flown by, as has the first half of 2026. As ever, a new page of the calendar brings the latest installation in our GM approval poll monthly. I’m certain that opinions will be particularly fierce as we ask you to consider what has reliably and consistently been the […]
The New York Yankees just suffered their sixth straight defeat, their biggest slide of the season. And starter Cam Schlittler allowed 3 homers in the very first inning in the 9-3 loss against the Detroit Tigers. The first one shouldn’t have counted. Kerry Carpenter’s fly ball to center looked like an out until it hit […]
The post “It’s Frustrating” – Cam Schlittler Takes Blame After Yankees Manager Sends Blunt Message to Clubhouse appeared first on EssentiallySports .
After collecting 5 runs in another tense victory on Monday, the Minnesota Twins went to bed on the night of June 29th boasting the highest-scoring offense in the American League. Strictly in terms of run production, the three teams pacing the junior circuit are (as of this writing): Minnesota Twins (417) New York Yankees (412) Chicago White Sox (400) Such a surprising distinction requires context.
The Detroit Tigers clinched their first series win since sweeping the Chicago White Sox at Comerica Park with a 9-3 victory over the New York Yankees on Tuesday night. Tarik Skubal had his best outing since returning from the injured list and the Tigers’ offensive onslaught continued, having now scored 35 runs over their last […]
The Yankees are officially reeling as they jump into July, losing their sixth straight game in lackluster fashion. The Tigers took ace Cam Schlittler to task from the get-go, scoring four runs in the first inning and six by the time he exited after just three innings. New York did get another home run off […]

Welp. Last night was more of the same for the suddenly-helpless Yankees, who closed out June with their sixth loss in a row — appropriately their longest skid since … last June. The Aaron Boone Era Yankees are nothing if not consistent in their frustrating patterns. For last night in particular, nothing went right. Their […]
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: After almost a month of uncertainty, the Yankees have finally provided a return timetable. Judge indicated that he is targeting an August return, but first has to undergo follow-up imaging in a couple weeks. Judge last played on May 31st and was diagnosed with a fractured first right rib on June […]
An anemic offense has been the biggest factor behind the New York Yankees’ recent struggles. On Sunday night, they scored four runs, but all of them came in the ninth and tenth innings. Notably, they did not record a hit until the eighth inning. And if that wasn’t enough, the Yankees also endured a scare […]
The post Yankees Manager Offers Worrying Update on Aaron Judge’s Return as Bronx Battles Tough Stretch appeared first on EssentiallySports .
The Yankees were blown out by the Tigers tonight, dropping their sixth consecutive game in the process. The ugliest stretch of their season has dropped New York 2.5 games back of a red hot Tampa Bay team in the AL East. It leaves the Yanks with a 12-14 record since Aaron Judge’s most recent appearance. The three-time […]
The Yankees lost their sixth straight, 9-3 to the Tigers. I have to get that in the first graf (writer-speak for “paragraph”) or my ‘tors (blogtalk for “editors”) get grumpy with me. With that out of the way, let’s travel to the land of metaphor! Do you all know what the Franklin Expedition was? In […]
The Tigers took the second game of the series against the Yankees 9-3 with thanks to a dazzling start from Tarik Skubal. Start spreading the news… the Tigers were back in the Bronx for game two of their series against the Yankees, hoping to clinch the series win nice and early. It was going to […]
Viewership is in for the first New York Yankees-Boston Red Sox game on Sunday Night Baseball this season, and it is marking a 15-year high for the Sunday-night series. From the bottom of the fourth inning, when the game was joined in progress by NBC, the game averaged 4.0 million viewers on NBC and Peacock.…

The eyes of the baseball world turn to the Bronx tonight, with a two-time defending Cy Young winner taking on the odds-on favorite for this year’s award. Cam Schlittler will look to outduel Tarik Skubal and halt this five-game losing streak the Yankees are on, and if the offense can respond they way the team […]
To say the New York Yankees haven't gotten much offensive production out of the catcher's spot is a massive understatement. 29th in the majors in OPS, 28th in batting average, tied for 28th in home runs. And while they've often been linked to Ryan Jeffers of the Minnesota Twins as a trade candidate, let's take a look at a proposed trade from Christopher Kline of Fansided that would send a much better catching option to the Bronx Bombers. New York Yankees receive : Hunter Goodman, C Color...
MLB All-Star voting has advanced to its second phase, with three Yankees, Aaron Judge, Ben Rice, and Cody Bellinger, still in the running after moving on from Phase 1. All three are trailing in the polls with two days left in the voting. Phase 1 of All-Star voting concluded last week, with the Blue Jays’ […]
New York Yankees star Aaron Judge still has some time to go in his recovery from a broken rib.
At 37, two months after throwing his last pitch in the Mexican League, Shane Greene appears to be at peace with where his baseball career stands. Just don’t ask him if he’s retired. “We’re not using the R word yet,”…
CC Sabathia remembers being able to take care of his family as soon as he signed his first MLB contract. Sabathia talks about how when he was playing, he focused on baseball and not much else, compared to now, where it’s more common for players to focus on outside businesses and opportunities. Hunter Pence, a […]
The Yankees signed left-hander Henry Lalane as an amateur free agent out of the Dominican Republic in 2021. He was always seen as a talented but raw pitching prospect, but the skills and the tools were loud, so much so that he was ninth in MLB Pipeline’s organizational top 30 list in 2024, 11th in […]
Aaron Judge and Mike Trout remain on track to be voted into the 2026 MLB All-Star Game starting lineup with two days of voting remaining.
Pitching. Pitching. Pitching. That’s been the strength of the Yankees’ farm system for the last few years, and this week was no different. With some key bats either currently on the shelf or joining the shelf late in the week, the focus was on the mountain of arms continuing impressive seasons or taking steps forward […]
