The New York Yankees are turning to Sean Casey as their hitting coach, sources confirmed to ESPN.
According to the New York Post, which first reported the news, it is expected that Casey will fill the role for the remainder of the season so he can better decide if it's a position he would like to remain in going forward. Casey, 49, has been working as an analyst for MLB Network.
The Yankees fired hitting coach Dillon Lawson after their 7-4 loss to the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, which ended the team's first half.
