The Yankees are banged up, but if there was ever a time in the schedule when they should be able to overcome a weakened lineup, it’s now.
Starting Tuesday in Miami, the Yankees will play 13 straight games against teams well out of playoff contention, all of whom entered Monday at least 23 games under .500.
First, Derek Jeter’s Marlins, who have generally played better than expected after their offseason fire sale, will go into the series in last place in the NL East and just 50-76.
