NBC Sports: In case you missed it, Jazz Chisholm Jr. exited Monday’s game against the Tigers early. While tracking a fly ball, he collided with Jasson Domínguez, taking the outfielder’s arm straight to the head. According to Aaron Boone, he has not been diagnosed with a concussion, but he is in concussion protocol.
The Athletic | Brendan Kuty: The Yankees have not looked good of late, including getting swept in a four-game series at the hands of the rival Red Sox over the weekend. Despite the recent
losing streak, the Yankees’ record is right near the top of the American League, and was the best in the AL until the recent defeats. Considering the Yankees’ roster makeup, it’s probably best for them to go all in at the Trade Deadline, with the likes of Aaron Judge and Gerrit Cole currently in their 30s.
ESPN | Jorge Castillo: Two of the players whose injury recoveries are most important to the Yankees’ chances are Max Fried and Giancarlo Stanton. In some hopeful news, the two are set to face off in a live batting practice session on Tuesday. Stanton’s timeline is still largely unclear, but if all goes well for Fried he could begin a rehab assignment shortly after this session.
CBS Sports | Matt Snyder: While the Yankees have gotten stinkers out of the rotation, bullpen, and defense of late, the major reason for the recent struggles have been due to a slumping offense. There are several reasons for that, but they’re ones the Yankees are going to have change quickly if they do want to make a run in October. Some of their stars (including their biggest one) are injured, sure, but the supporting cast just hasn’t done much supporting at all during this stretch or for the season at large and that’s a concern that won’t go away easily.
Lastly, the Yankees will have a fresh arm in their bullpen tonight after needing to use six arms to record 22 outs in relief of an ineffective Ryan Weathers yesterday. Yerry de los Santos threw two innings after Weathers left the game, and he’ll now head back to Triple-A. The RailRiders were off yesterday, so the Yankees will have their pick of the litter.
