The past month for the Yankees has been filled with ups and down headlined by all the injuries that have ravaged their roster so early into the season. The Yanks have been plagued by injury more than any team in recent history as they currently have an unfathomable 13 players on the IL. Day after day it seems like another player goes down and yet they’ve somehow managed to post a record of 16-11.
It’s quite the accomplishment for the Yanks to be sitting in second place just 1.5 games behind the first place Rays and five above the defending champion Red Sox.
