Yankees have been in survival mode the last while due mostly to injuries. Tanaka just came back, Happ missed time right after being acquired, Chapman has been nursing a sore knee, Torres just came back, both Judge and Sanchez are out. Once all of them are back, they’ll find their swagger again. Sonny Gray was’t getting it done and they finally removed him, long overdue in my mind.
Lots of games left to be played, but at this point, I think realistically, they need to solidify their wild card spot, get healthy and confident again, and go into the playoffs playing sound ball.
