Yankees Turnaround in August | New York Yankees News

The Yankees are on fire in August, riding a six-win, four-loss streak and even beating the Red Sox three out of four times — keeping them alive in the division race. After a brutal April-May and a disastrous June (including a sweep by Boston and Cashman’s approval rating plummeting to 9%), things turned around in August. A late surge — scoring 69 runs in their final 13 games — has revived the offense, even with Aaron Judge sidelined. Cody Bellinger’s return, plus breakout performances from rookies George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones, and revitalized veterans Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Austin Wells, have fueled the attack. Meanwhile, the pitching staff remains elite — starters lead the AL in ERA and FIP, and the bullpen holds strong despite injuries to key arms like Ryan Weathers and Fernando Cruz. It’s been a rollercoaster, but the Yankees are now firmly in playoff contention heading into September. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
