The Yankees Reliever Confidence Index: August Edition
At last Monday’s Trade Deadline, the Yankees had an opportunity to augment a bullpen that, despite ranking second in MLB in both ERA and xERA, seemingly had room for another high-end arm. Instead, GM Brian Cashman traded away Camilo Doval, Jake Bird, and Yovanny Cruz. The most charitable interpretation here is addition by subtraction. Doval […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Anthony Rizzo
Since Don Mattingly’s retirement after the 1995 season, the Yankees have generally filled the first base spot by bringing in an established veteran. First it was Tino Martinez, then it was Jason Giambi, before Mark Teixeira filled that role from 2009 through 2016. For five years after him, the position became a turnstile, with Greg […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Red Sox drop a baker’s dozen on the Athletics as Payton Tolle strikes out 14
As improbable as it seems, the Yankees won both a one-run game and an extra innings game in one fell swoop, Ryan McMahon’s tenth inning sac fly enough to sink the Braves, 3-2. Max Fried tossed 6.1 scoreless while his offense waited until the ninth inning to score their first runs. There were a handful […]
The Yankees are raising their defensive ceiling with George Lombard Jr.
Shortstop is by far the most important position on the infield. Having a capable fielder there brings peace of mind to the rest of the defense and, perhaps more importantly, to pitchers. The Yankees know this. Shortstops on the team have had, overall, a solid defensive year, with Jose Caballero racking up 10 Defensive Runs […]
Yankees prospects: Volpe, Domínguez both homer in return to Triple-A
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 5-13 vs. Rochester Red Wings SS Anthony Volpe 1-5, 1 HR, 2 RBI, 1 R, 3 K, throwing error — first game since getting demoted, homered in second at-batLF Jasson Domínguez 2-4, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 R, 1 BB — followed suit with a homer in the seventh2B Max Schuemann […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/8/26
The Yankees haven’t exactly been in a slide with their win-loss ratio of late, but they’ve had some tough losses that could’ve easily been prevented by the offense looking alive instead of comatose. Friday night was looking like one of those losses, as they failed to capitalize on a strong Max Fried start and were […]
Yankees news: Yanks planning out Carlos Rodón’s return
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Later today, Carlos Rodón is set to make a rehab start in Triple-A. The pitcher has been out since June 30th with elbow inflammation, but his return could be close. The team may or may not give him one more rehab outing, but either way, he’ll be back […]
Spending every life they had, Yankees rally to force extras and win in walk-off fashion
Every moment in a game is another opportunity to shift the momentum. And for eight frames, the Yankees had and wasted their chances to do so, but one big inning was all it took to survive and eventually win it in extras. Down 2-0 in the ninth, the Yankees refused to quit, rattled the Braves […]
Yankees, Braves announce new start time after rain delay
It’s Unofficial 1990s Throwback Night at Yankee Stadium on Friday, as the Atlanta Braves are in town to face the Yankees for a three-game set. These showdowns always bring to mind fond—for us anyway—memories of the 1996 and 1999 Fall Classics, when the Yankees came back from down 0-2 to win their first championship in […]
New York Yankees vs. Atlanta Braves: Max Fried vs. Tyler Mahle
Even these days, interleague matchups aren’t exactly common, making this the first time that Max Fried will face his former club since joining the Yankees. Obviously it isn’t as special as that first visit to Truist Park (which he made at the 2025 All-Star Game), but it adds a layer to this game—the unique context […]
Yankees fans are dissatisfied with the team’s deadline moves
Even with many tries, one probably would not have been able to guess the Yankees’ moves at the 2026 Trade Deadline, making evaluating them a very peculiar task. With that in mind, we asked for your help with a poll that asked you to grade the Yankees’ deadline. Before getting into it, we wanted to […]
Yankees Mailbag: Recapping the deadline and lineup concerns
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. The idiot that said, “Harper is coming” asks: How do you feel about this deadline for the Yankees? I went into […]
Yankees add Mitch Garver on minor league deal
What was it we were saying about the Yankees failing to add a catcher in early-August? Scratch that, because Mitch Garver is on his way. Once a rather productive major league backstop, Garver, who was serving in a bench role for the Mariners, was released just a few days ago, making his time on the […]
All eyes on Austin Wells after deadline inactivity
If you polled 1,000 anonymous Yankees fans at random and asked them the biggest issue with the team in 2026, generalizing it that you could name a player, team figure, or even approach, you’d get a lot of answers. There’d be a fair amount of Aaron Boone, Brian Cashman, Hal Steinbrenner, and “analytics” answers, but […]
Yankees Sequence of the Week: Ryan Weathers (8/4)
The Yankees continue to lean almost exclusively on their pitching staff to keep them in games, the offense managing two or fewer runs in six of their last seven games. It doesn’t feel like a sustainable approach, but for now it’s what they’ve got while they await the returns of Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Don Larsen
The imperfect man pitched a perfect game yesterday. So read Joe Trimble’s lead on October 9, 1956 in the New York Daily News. The day prior, a man who was an afterthought on a team in the midst of winning its seventh championship in 10 years, a man known more for his carousing off the […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Red Sox survive wild 13-inning barnburner
The Yankees were off on Thursday, along with the Rays and several other teams. That left the Red Sox as the center of attention for this roundup, and boy did they make the most of having the stage all to themselves. The Battle of the Sox went on for 13 long innings, featured nine runs […]
New York Yankees vs. Atlanta Braves: Series Preview
While the Yankees didn’t as much as a lot of people hoped at the trade deadline, they still made a couple moves, and also called up top prospect George Lombard Jr. That being said, they still haven’t looked that different early on. The Yankees dropped two of three in their series against the Cardinals. The […]
Yankees prospects: Roderick Arias continues strong season in Double-A
Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders: L, 10-5 vs. Rochester Red Wings RF Max Schuemann 3-5, 2B, HR, 4 RBI, K — you can’t stop Max Schuemann, you can only hope to contain himC J.C. Escarra 0-5, 2 K2B Marco Luciano 0-3, BB, KSS Oswaldo Cabrera 1-3, throwing errorDH Yanquiel Fernández 0-3, BB3B Tyler Hardman 1-4, RBI, 2 […]
Today on Pinstripe Alley – 8/7/26
The Yankees got a much-needed offday yesterday, coming off a stretch of 13 games in 13 days. Despite the negative sentiment around the team for much of that span, I’d argue that this stretch went well; the Yankees played for 13 exhausting days in row, largely against strong opponents, with ten of those games on […]
Yankees news: Lombard Jr. in good company to start career
New York Daily News | Gary Phillips: Top prospect George Lombard Jr. has just two MLB games under his belt, but he’s looked like he belongs at this level. The new shortstop credits the major-league experience of his father and the general upbringing that has now produced two first round MLB picks, the other his […]
Yankees’ Triple-A manager discusses Anthony Volpe infield plans and the latest roster moves
When Anthony Volpe reports to the Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders, manager Shelley Duncan anticipates the shortstop to see some action at second base and possibly third base. “There’s a good chance of that,” Duncan said. “We’ll see when he gets here. Us as an organization, we’ll have a plan in place for him. Anthony will be […]
Yankees Birthday of the Day: Ron Davis
There are several families that have made Major League Baseball a family business. Names like the Ripkens, Griffeys, Boones, Hollidays, and Hairstons immediately come to mind. Another family deserves some flowers as well, and that family includes today’s birthday boy, Ron Davis. Davis’ uncle, Red Murff, pitched briefly for the Milwaukee Braves before becoming a […]
Yankees Rivalry Roundup: Rays, Red Sox both pitch shutouts
The Yankees fell in lackluster fashion on Wednesday, scoring just a single run en route to a 3-1 loss. Will Warren wasn’t as sharp as his previous outing, but when your offense is as hard-pressed as the Yankees’ lineup is to score multiple runs in a rally you’d have to be in phenomenal form to […]
Ryan Weathers is adapting (and thriving) on the fly
Up until July 20th, Yankees trade acquisition Ryan Weathers was sporting a disappointing 4.40 ERA in 102.1 innings. His four-seam fastball was getting battered, and he was allowing too many home runs to have a chance at sustained success. Baseball, however, is a game of adjustments. The talented left-hander has allowed just one earned run […]
