Yankees recall Jake Bird, place David Bednar on paternity list
The Yankees will try to leave behind their ugly sweep at the hands of the Boston Red Sox starting on Monday, kicking off a three-game set at home against the Detroit Tigers. They will do so with a new face in the bullpen or, rather, an old friend getting another shot: Jake Bird. The right-hander […]
Yankees At-Bat of the Week: Jasson Domínguez (6/24)
It’s official: the Yankees offense is in a slump. They have hit a new low this season, getting swept in four putrid games at Fenway by the last place Red Sox. The bats got no-hit through five innings in each of the final three games, not managing a hit until the eighth in the finale. […]
What are the Yankees’ Trade Deadline priorities?
As the calendar prepares to roll over to July, it is officially time to start diving into trade rumors and focusing some energy on how to fortify the roster. Before the season began, and after the “hot” stove this past winter, the Yankees front office repeatedly pushed the narrative that they approached last year’s trade […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Bobby Veach
Baseball’s Deadball Era is full of colorful names, statistical quirks, and stories that seem like they belong in the movies. Bobby Veach stood just 5-foot-11 and weighed only 160 pounds. Believe it or not, the slim left-handed hitter was actually one of the best power bats of his era. Robert Hayes VeachBorn: June 29, 1888 […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays seize first as Junior Caminero continues historic heater
Sigh. The Rays refuse to go away. It’s not surprising. But it is infuriating, especially given the putrid state of basically the entire American League except for the Yanks and Tampa Bay. The Rays’ recent hot streak is particularly unfortutnate as the Yankees can’t buy a win right now, finishing a truly terrible four-game sweep […]
New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers: Series Preview
Three close games, none with more than eight runs scored total. That is how last week’s series in Detroit between the Yankees and Tigers went—it is almost as if the Tigers were a better team than their incredibly poor record would indicate, and that the Yankees were not at full strength, given current key absences. […]

Today on Pinstripe Alley – 6/29/26
That series sucked. The last time the Red Sox swept the Yankees in a four-game set was 2018, which was very annoying but in hindsight more understandable because that was legitimately the best team in Boston history (108 wins, 11-3 record in October). They were a powerhouse. These Red Sox doing it when they entered […]
Yankees news: What’s going on with Aaron Judge?
Sportsnet: Let’s start with the worst news. Prior to Sunday’s series finale against Boston, manager Aaron Boone revealed there is no timetable for re-imaging injured slugger and three-time AL MVP Aaron Judge’s ribs. I guess the good news is that Boone mentioned Judge is doing some work in the weight room and has ramped from […]
Yankees’ late comeback all for naught as Red Sox finish four-game sweep
I don’t personally believe in the “June Swoon.” I do believe that the Yankees play genuinely poor baseball for about 30-50 games every summer, but I don’t subscribe to it just being a June thing, so I think it’s odd when a loss or two makes people immediately say “June Swoon” regardless of the bigger […]
New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox: Carlos Rodón vs. Sonny Gray
The Yankees are lucky this series is in Boston, because after three pretty gross outings in a row against the Red Sox, they’d almost certainly booed by the Bronx like the hunter who shot Bambi’s mom. They can get a little bit of good vibes back today by managing a single win in this four-game […]
The Yankees Birthday Series, presented by Pinstripe Alley
During my tenure at Pinstripe Alley—hell, during my entire time as a baseball fan—I’ve never been shy about delving into the team’s history and exploring the lives of its long roll call of players, both incredible and regrettable. We provide plenty of other coverage on the current-day activities of the teams, so I like having […]
Yankees Social Media Spotlight: Father’s Day Rewind
It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! After several weeks of Knicks-related excitement, we are back to the normal end-of-school grind, but that doesn’t stop the Yankees’ social media engine from turning. What were the fellas in the ‘stripes up to this week? Let’s […]
RailRiders notes: Team ranks among attendance risers in first half
In June, the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders have been road warriors and living out of suitcases. The Triple-A affiliate of the New York Yankees played just six games at the friendly confines of PNC Field in northeastern Pennsylvania during the month while logging week-long trips to Syracuse, Columbus and Indianapolis. The good news is that when they […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Al Downing
The mid-to-late 1960s are fairly regarded as a pretty brutal time in Yankees’ history. CBS infamously purchased the team in 1964, and the team almost immediately began to fall off a cliff. Between their poor ownership and the players of the 1950s and early 60s dynasties aging out, the team went from 1964 to 1976 […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays retake first with fourth straight win
I wonder if it is fair to call this a belated June swoon, the Yankees losers of three straight and seven of their last ten, the offense the chief culprit as it tends to be at this stage in the season. They are on the verge of a reverse Boston Massacre, dropping the first three […]
Yankees prospects: Ben Hess allows one hit to help Somerset split doubleheader
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 3-4 at Indianapolis Indians 2B Marco Luciano 2-3, 2 HR, 3 RBI, BB, K throwing error — produced half the hits and all the ribbies, but the rest of the offense didn’t do muchDH Yanquiel Fernández 0-4, 2 K, GIDPC Garrett Martin 0-4, K3B Tyler Hardman 0-3, BB, K1B Ernesto Martinez […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 6/28/26
Where oh where have the bats gone? The simplest answer is “The Injured List”, but the Yankees previously had been able to keep producing runs even after seeing some huge bats go down. Their luck has run out lately, however, with the team’s wounded lineup now struggling at the end of June and giving fans […]
Yankees news: Cole can cope with commonplace stuff
MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Although Gerrit Cole’s Saturday start at Fenway was far from a success, it wasn’t without some positives. After giving up a two-run double to Willson Contreras in the third inning, Cole reportedly changed his approach, accepting that he didn’t have his best stuff and forgoing precise command for aggressively attacking the […]
The Yankees All-June Birthday Team
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 […]
Yankees’ Fenway futility in June continues with third straight defeat
The thing about June is that it is just June. The losses the Yankees have suffered at the hands of the last-place Red Sox have been equal parts dull and maddening, but they are ultimately just losses in June. Even after this 4-1 loss on Saturday afternoon, they are at worst in a tie for […]
New York Yankees @ Boston Red Sox: Gerrit Cole vs. Jake Bennett
After stumbling to a series-opening loss to the Red Sox on Thursday, the Yankees found themselves completely shut down by Payton Tolle as the Red Sox jumped on a struggling Will Warren to clinch a breezy 6-1 victory. They’ve guaranteed themselves at least a series split; now it’s up to the Bombers to claw back […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Eric Reyzelman
One of the joys of this here daily birthday series is that we get to see nearly every corner of the Yankees’ history. Yesterday’s entry featured the incomparable Derek Jeter, an inner-circle Hall of Famer, 14-time All-Star, and five-time World Series winner, while today’s will see a 2022 fifth-round draft pick, who has yet to […]
Yankees and Red Sox feature former catchers-turned elite first basemen
As the Yankees and Red Sox meet on opposite ends of the American League East standings, neither team can afford to even contemplate where they’d be without the production of their first basemen. For the Yankees, Ben Rice has been the team’s best hitter on the season, and the same can be said of his […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays back within a game of AL East lead
The Yankees were asleep at the wheel last night, getting retired in order through five innings before finally getting a hit in the sixth, and losing a 6-1 dud in Boston. I will be upfront in that I had other plans and was spared from watching it, but from what I’ve gathered and reviewed, I […]
