Cool

a rough stretch

The indicators are pointing down. The 2-5 record this week is doing most of the damage. And losing by 3 last night pulls things in the wrong direction.

Yankees News

The Yankees are feeling the sting of injuries as Max Fried heads to the 10-day injured list with a bone bruise, leaving a gaping hole in the rotation. Last night's 5-2 victory over the Mets was a much-needed lift, but it can't mask the fact that the team has stumbled to a 2-5 record over the last week. Mistakes cost them opportunities, and a promising performance from Cam Schlittler is overshadowed by the team's overall inconsistency. New prospect Elmer Rodríguez gets his chance to shine in the Subway Series, but with six players on the injured list, the Yankees must lean heavily on their stars like Aaron Judge and hope for a turnaround. It's crunch time for a team that can't afford to let a golden opportunity slip away as they look to reclaim their edge.
