Overview
- The Yankees have lost nine of 10 games, a skid that continued with a 6-1 defeat by the Twins on Sunday as Joe Ryan tossed seven scoreless innings.
- Left-hander Carlos Rodón was placed on the injured list with elbow inflammation with reports saying his UCL is intact and a 4–6 week timetable is possible.
- Triple-A righty Carlos Lagrange was diagnosed with a capsular sprain of the right shoulder and will not throw for about six weeks, removing an internal depth option.
- Max Fried has progressed to live batting practice and remains on a rehab track that the team estimates could allow a return in roughly a month.
- Recent defensive miscues have produced a surge in unearned runs and heavy bullpen usage, increasing pressure on the Yankees to add reliable starters or relievers before the July trade deadline while several players still earned All-Star nods.
