Yankees News

The Yankees continue to battle as their chances for a postseason push get tighter, now sitting at 75-57 after a solid 9-3 victory over the Astros that showcased their offensive potential. Yet, the ominous diagnosis of a partial UCL tear for Fernando Cruz looms over the bullpen, leaving fans concerned about their depth as they head into a crucial rivalry series against the Red Sox. With the ghosts of past trades hanging in the air, the Yankees need to channel the spirit of their storied franchise and regain the spark that seemed absent in the last few weeks. They’ve won 5 of their last 7 games, but the upcoming clash with Boston will be a true test, as both teams vie for October glory while ensuring they avoid a repeat of their earlier lackluster encounters.

New York Yankees vs. Houston Astros: Gerrit Cole vs. Hayden Wesneski

The Yankees have actually looked pretty good — bullpen aside — in this series against the Astros, and again if not for that bullpen should probably be playing for the sweep tonight.
