The Yankees can hopefully put the Josh Donaldson drama behind them after clinching another series win over the American League East rival Orioles.
Granted, Donaldson is on the COVID-19 list and missed the whole series, yet New York prevailed. Gerrit Cole proving human on Monday was enough for Baltimore, and the Yankees did the rest. To follow a bad loss with a comeback in extra innings and then a gritty shutout is testament to this team’s toughness.
Yet, even toughness has limits. The Yankees are suddenly dealing with a sudden storm of injuries, namely Giancarlo Stanton hitting the injured list with ankle inflammation.
