After wrapping up their West Coast road trip with yet another frustrating loss, the Yankees are set to come back out east this weekend. However, they’re not coming back to the Bronx just yet, as instead a trip to Tropicana Field to play the Rays awaits. Thanks to the Yankees’ second-half play, it’s also become quite the important series — one that will see the recently-recalled Oswald Peraza make his MLB debut as well.
Coming into this weekend, the Yankees lead the AL East by just six games, down quite a bit from where their edge once stood.
