Even after all the injuries, the Yankees still have a chance this weekend to take the lead in the AL East. If you’d told me two months ago that the Yankees would lead the AL East in mid-May, I would not have been surprised. If you’d told me the same thing one month ago, however, I might be shocked. Yet here we are, with the team a half-game back of the Rays, and with the opportunity to grab first place.
The Yankees will go for the division lead tonight, starting at 6:10 EST with CC Sabathia on the mound.
