Yankees News

The Yankees are bracing for a postseason without their leader, as Aaron Judge is unlikely to be available for the Wild Card round due to a calf strain that has pushed him to the injured list. With Judge sidelined, Cody Bellinger is already looking at how the Yankees can still make a playoff run, emphasizing the need for stellar pitching and solid defense. Today’s loss to the Rays further complicates matters, as the Yankees officially relinquished their hopes for the AL East title. Starters like Max Fried will have to step up in a big way, especially if the Yankees are to find any semblance of success in October without their captain. Meanwhile, the franchise is entering a new era with Apollo Global Management's investment, potentially shifting the financial landscape of the team.
