The 2019 season was played mostly by reserve options attempting to break into the starting lineup. The Yankees managed to find several grenades ready to explode, and luckily they did at the perfect times. Gio Urshela, Cameron Maybin, and Mike Tauchman were three influential players who produced when the regular starters were recovering from injury.
However, they were forced to start for the Bombers in place of guys like Giancarlo Stanton, who missed the entire season with various ailments. The 30-year-old battled a torn left bicep, a left shoulder strain, a sprained right knee, and a strained quad that plagued him throughout the campaign.
