June has finally passed into July, and soon after will come the end of the first half. The Yankees are cruising with a 56-21 record, a remarkable .727 pace that you’d be hard-pressed to find any Yankees fan expected on Opening Day (or even a month into the season for that matter).
The team’s success and general health have meant that GM Brian Cashman hasn’t had to do too much work in June. The primary moves involved bringing folks back from the injured list, as Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson returned to the team after stints on the IL dealing with a calf strain and shoulder inflammation, respectively.
