Yankees Injuries Have Turned Every Game Into Survival | Evan & Tiki

The Yankees keep surviving, but every game feels like a struggle. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber debate whether New York deserves credit for staying afloat through a brutal run of injuries or criticism for barely playing .500 baseball despite outstanding pitching. Aaron Judge is making slow progress, Giancarlo Stanton is moving closer to a return, and Aaron Boone’s comments make Max Fried’s injured-list stint sound more precautionary than catastrophic.Jazz Chisholm is becoming another source of frustration. His bat has disappeared, the strikeouts are piling up, and a defensive mistake has Evan questioning whether Chisholm should still be guaranteed everyday at-bats. The Yankees may be headed for October, but getting Judge, Stanton and Fried healthy at the right time could determine how far they actually go.
