ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- New York Yankees general manager Brian Cashman joined the struggling team for a series at Tampa Bay that started Tuesday night.

The Yankees have lost 17 of 23 but remain 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 5-3 loss to 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.
