If only the New York Yankees had signed Patrick Corbin, they might not need a starting pitcher.
They're certainly scrambling to find one before the July 31 trade deadline. This is apparent from what's on the rumor mill as well as from words that have come from general manager Brian Cashman:

In fairness, the Yankees' desperation level isn't too extreme. Their 60-33 record is the best in the American League and good for a six-game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays in the AL East.
