As the New York Yankees prepare to compete against the Kansas City Royals in the conclusive match of their three-game series on Sunday afternoon at 1:35 PM, the team announces the return of outfielders Jake Bauers and Greg Allen.

Jake Bauers: A Solid Season Despite Struggles

Bauers has marked a decent season with the Yankees, overcoming previous struggles at the MLB level. His current stats show a .224 hitting average with a .312 OBP, including seven home runs, 19 RBIs, and a career-high 114 wRC+. Although Bauers may not qualify as a starting-level player, he’s been a crucial depth addition, demonstrating a keen aptitude against right-handed pitching.
