Yankees May Approval Poll: Brian Cashman
If the Yankees were mediocre in April, it’s fair to say they righted the ship in May. Last month saw them finish just one game over .500 – which is probably what fueled an incredibly low six percent approval rating for general manager Brian Cashman – but they were 19-10 in the month that just finished.
Before Wednesday’s game, the Yankees were 34-23 with four straight victories and just 5.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays for the division lead. The difference between the two squads was 10 games on May 8, back when the Bombers were last in the division and just a day before Aaron Judge’s return from a mild hip strain.
