With the AL East nearly wrapped up, NYY will likely proceed cautiously with Gary Sanchez's groin injury and Edwin Encarnacion's oblique strain, meaning more AB for the likes of Austin Romine and Mike Ford. Plus, Max Muncy and Nick Markakis return from the IL.
The Yankees have a problem to resolve in 2020 many teams would envy: too many infielders. Other question marks heading into next season include outfield in BAL, first base and second base (and Betts' status) in BOS, designated hitter in TAM and outfield in TOR.
Jared Walsh gets a head start to claim a role in 2020 with Shohei Ohtani sidelined. Plus, updates on Jake Fraley, Joey Gallo, Nick Senzel, Rich Hill, J.P. Crawford, Joe Ross, Justin Turner, Reyes Moronta and more.
Gerrit Cole has posted double-digit strikeouts in his last five straight games, and owns a ridiculous 17.9 Dom, 24% SwK, and 1.42 xERA over his last four starts.
Christian Yelich's season-ending injury could be softened somewhat by the return of Mike Moustakas and Keston Hiura. Plus, Alex Verdugo and Hunter Renfroe out, CC Sabathia activated, and Kyle Crick injures finger.
With Mike Tauchman out, Clint Frazier ends up as the main beneficiary. Plus, Byron Buxton's season is over, Johnny Cueto activated, Franchy Cordero has setback, Chris Mazza recalled, and more.
The Brewers are getting a long look at their catcher of the future to close out the season. Plus, the recovery of Gregory Polanco in PIT, a shakeup in the batting order in STL, Kevin Gasuman's future in CIN, and concern for Kimbrel in 2020 for CHC.
