Around the Empire: Yankees news - 8/18/20

FanGraphs | Jay Jaffe: Another year, another round of Next Man Up. Jaffe runs down this season’s avalanche of Yankees injuries and the options they have to stem the tide while Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton and DJ LeMahieu heal. There’s no guarantee the subs will be able to replace the stars as well as they have so far, but there’s also little chance that the injuries will knock the Yankees significantly in the playoff race, given the season’s altered structure.

Washington Post | Kevin Blackistone: Over the weekend, MLB honored the 100th anniversary of the Negro Leagues.
