ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman has joined the struggling team for a series at Tampa Bay that started Tuesday night.
The Yankees had lost 16 of 22 entering Tuesday but remained in one of the American League wild-card spots.
"Because of how we've been playing, I've decided to join us," Cashman said before Tuesday's game with the Rays. "It's been a struggle, obviously. Thankfully we got out of the gates really strong, so hopefully that cushion will allow us to work through this hopefully sooner than later on because it's gone on long enough.
