Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Guardians literally throw the game away
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 […]

Which Yankee is facing the most pressure to turn it around?
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 […]
Yankees news: Aaron Judge targeting August return
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 […]
Yankees doomed to sixth-straight loss by Cam Schlittler’s homer-happy start
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 […]
New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers: Cam Schlittler vs. Tarik Skubal
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 […]
Ben Rice, Aaron Judge trail in MLB All-Star voting
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’ […]
Henry Lalane’s prospect stock and trade value are on the rise
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 […]
Yankees prospects: Week 14 minor league recap
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 […]
Yankees recall Yovanny Cruz to shore up bullpen
Losers of five consecutive games and eight of their last 10, the Yankees are desperate to turn things around. Ryan Weathers and some suspect defensive play are mostly to blame for Monday’s loss against the Tigers, one in which the bullpen had to throw 7.1 innings. With the unit needing a fresh arm for the […]
Yankees Birthdays, June 30: Jerry Kenney
Being an all-glove, no-hit player pretty much bars you from superstardom, but even then, some manage to earn a place among baseball legend by doing the right thing at the right time. Bucky Dent’s seasonal OPS never climbed above .700 during his Yankees tenure, yet his name is rightfully etched into club history because his […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Blue Jays snap six-game losing streak in Bichette’s return to Toronto
The Yankees offense keeps finding new lows to achieve. They’ve managed one or fewer hits through seven innings in back-to-back games, have lost five straight, and mustered just 12 hits across their last four games, which is the fewest hits over a four-game span in franchise history. Yes, three of their best hitters are out […]
Yankees potential trade partner: Minnesota Twins
The Major League Baseball trade deadline is August 3rd at 6 p.m. ET, which may seem like a while away at first glance, but given how fast the season moves, it won’t be long before rumors swirl and moves are made. Every playoff team (and non-playoff team) will want in on the action for the […]
Yankees prospects: Wilberson De Pena continues bullying Rookie ball
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: Offday (but it didn’t stop the injury bug that’s crushed the majors to hit them, too; recently-promoted and red-hot Garrett Martin hit the IL with an undisclosed injury) Double-A Somerset Patriots: Offday High-A Hudson Valley Renegades: Offday Low-A Tampa Tarpons: Offday Florida Complex League Yankees: W, 5-2 at FCL Blue Jays 3B […]
Who’s most likely to jumpstart the offense?
The worst-kept secret about the Yankees right now is that they’re hurting for some offensive fireworks. With Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Trent Grisham, and Ryan McMahon all on the IL right now, over a third of the starting lineup is missing and the consequences can be felt in their five-game losing streak. They’ve been on […]
Yankees news: Jazz Chisholm Jr. leaves Monday’s game with injury
NBC Sports: In case you missed it, Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited Monday’s game against the Tigers early. While tracking a fly ball, he collided with Jasson Domínguez, taking the outfielder’s arm straight to the head. According to Aaron Boone, he has not been diagnosed with a concussion, but he is in concussion protocol. The Athletic […]
Jazz Chisholm Jr. leaves with injury, Yankees lose odiously to Tigers
The June swoon that was promised arrived late, as it often does—but it is unmistakably here. The Yankees took their butts home to Yankee Stadium after an excruciating four-game sweep at the hands of the reviled Red Sox and performed in a similarly moribund fashion en route to a 7-3 loss to the Tigers. To […]
New York Yankees vs. Detroit Tigers: Ryan Weathers vs. Casey Mize
Readers, I begin this humble game thread with a question: is it better to head right back to work after a four-game sweep at the hands of your archrivals, to get an opportunity to flush it and leave it in the past? Or would an off-day at this juncture give you a much-needed chance to […]
VOTE: Which Yankees starting pitcher is most concerning?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across Major League Baseball. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Yankees fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys. Through the first couple months of the 2026 MLB season, New York Yankees starting pitching […]
Ask Pinstripe Alley: Yankees mailbag questions request
If two weeks ago was a mixed bag for the Yankees, this past week was a outright tumble. They did manage to narrowly win a series against the Tigers to start off, but the offense’s lackluster performance outside of a couple key moments came home to roost in their trip up to Boston where they […]
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 […]
