Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images 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 season’s first full month coming to a close, we’re going to take a peek around MLB as a whole and check in with each of the other five divisions. Who’s surprising? Who’s underwhelming? Who’s simply mediocre at the moment? Read on and find out.

Cookie’s back. The Yankee bullpen has been kicked around in this series with the Dodgers, after last night’s debacle that saw position players pitching for both sides, and Max Fried’s worst outing of the season on Friday. Although the club does have an offday tomorrow, YES Network’s Jack Curry has reported that Carlos Carrasco was promoted from Triple-A Scranton and will be available tonight behind Ryan Yarbrough as the team tries to salvage the last game of this series in LA.

Former Dodger Cody Bellinger, one of those new adds, is actually outhitting Soto entering play against his old club, and veteran first baseman Paul Goldschmidt has turned back time for himself.

Vincent Carchietta-Imagn Images They say you can’t win your division in April, but you can lose it. It’s about to be June, and the Yankees are not far from winning the division, at least by looking at probability models. Entering play Wednesday night the Yankees are 6.5 games clear of the second-place Tampa Bay Rays, who happen to be the only other team that’s above .500 in the AL East.

Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images They’re called the Bronx Bombers and boast the best hitter on the planet, but in this series out in Anaheim the story has been the pitching. Fifth starter Ryan Yarbrough was brilliant last night in a series-opening win, and Carlos Rodón was One On yet again tonight. The evening was so good that the Yankees even dodged a very scary ninth-inning bullet, winning 3-2.

Dennis Lee-Imagn Images The Yankees took care of business last night in Orange County, with a tidy 5-1 win led by a tremendous start from Ryan Yarbrough. Now, they’ll turn from a guy we’re surprised by to the guy pitching like a man possessed as the club tries for yet another series win, with Carlos Rodón getting the ball for a late start in Anaheim. Since the calendar turned to May, Rodón seemingly decided not to allow runs anymore.

Gary A. Vasquez-Imagn Images The Yankees continue this long West Coast trip with the first of six games against “LA” based teams tonight. Like the Mariners two weeks ago, the Angels are in the thick of a competitive AL West race, trailing Seattle by four games and two and a half back from the second-place Astros. Somewhat surprisingly, they have not been a disaster, even with legacy star Mike Trout injured yet again (and not particularly productive when healthy either).

Ron Chenoy-Imagn Images This one was deeply annoying. I paraphrase my old colleague Greg Kirkland when I say that games against baseball’s true dregs aren’t that much fun. You’re supposed to win, which robs the joy of victory, and if you lose, it sucks extra because of the quality of the opponent. For just one past example, look at the 2024 Yankees’ 12-2 defeat at the hands of 121-loss White Sox.
