Yankees lose two trade acquisitions -- Migration, Bird flying north to SWB. Slater to IL
Leiter and Judge activated.
Brubaker is DFA'd
de los Santos recalled -- technically, he replaces Slater on roster.
Forget Who's on 1st! Who's the Closer!
Not sure how healthy he is, but Judge needs to prove he's the MVP and MUST carry this team for the next week or so.
McMahon has taken the team lead with a K% of 39.5%
Over / Under: Total bases by Judge, 0.5

NEXT UP: Wednesday, August 6th, at 2:30 pm, at Texas
Chat at y'all tomorrow afternoon.
To me, right now the question isn't can the Yankees make the playoffs -- but can they end the season with a winning record?
I will be rooting for the Rangers tomorrow in the hopes that a win by them will cause Boone to be fired. TBH, not sure I can!
Wonder what injury “Gas Can” Williams suffered that will land him on the injury list after the game?
So what's the more likely outcome? Yankees score a run in the 9th on a solo HR, or they score two and then the bullpen helps Texas walk it off in the bottom of the inning?
