There’s the classic N and Y interlocked with each other on the jerseys and hats, but this sure doesn’t seem like the New York Yankees the Royals were expecting to see in their trip to the Bronx this season. That’s because the Yankees have 12 players on the injured list currently, including Giancarlo Stanton, Gary Sanchez, Miguel Andujar, Aaron Hicks, Luis Severino and Dellin Betances. In the not shocking category are Greg Bird and Troy Tulowitzki, but this is a team that is just trying to hang around while they get healthy, which may be a little while. They’re still insanely talented and still have plenty to get past the Royals with a very solid starting staff, an excellent bullpen still and a lot of talent in the lineup, but it’s just not what we all expected to see for this series.
