Only a couple of weeks ago, the New York Yankees starting rotation was operating near the bottom of the MLB, leading many to believe an upgrade was bound to occur, something I covered near the end of May.
Since the posting of that article, the Yankees rotation has rebounded. At the time, the Yankees starters ranked 24th in the MLB with an ERA of 4.45. Entering Friday night’s contest with the Baltimore Orioles, they are up to 13th, with an ERA of 4.02.
After dropping 10 out of 11, the Yankees have now won 11 out of 15, and seven out of eight, and the rotation has played a huge role in that.
