Devastated by the injury bug, the Yankees have had to piece together a makeshift lineup to scrape together 30 wins. And yet, the Yanks have not only survived with their sandlot team but thrived.
With long-term injuries to many of their starters including Didi Gregorius, Luis Severino, Greg Bird, and Dellin Betances, not to mention season-ending surgery for Miguel Andújar, many thought the Yankees would need to have an impressive second half to make up for their losses.
But even the plethora of short-term injuries to the likes of Aaron Judge, James Paxton, Giancarlo Stanton, Troy Tulowitzki, Gary Sanchez, and Aaron Hicks hasn’t slowed down this Bomber team.
