The New York Yankees are in a precarious position ahead of the trade deadline, with General Manager Brian Cashman expected to make a few pivotal moves. However, losing key outfielders at this stage could present an unexpected challenge.
A Twist of Fate: Jake Bauers’ Shoulder Injury
Adding an above-average batter to the left-field position is still a priority for the Yankees. However, losing everyday starters is not part of the desired plan.
Jake Bauers, a reserve outfielder, unfortunately, sustained a shoulder injury after diving for a ball on Wednesday night. The 27-year-old is now set for an MRI and will miss Thursday’s game and potentially more, depending on the injury’s severity.
