The Yankees set the all-time single-season record for most players placed on the injured list in 2019. Then in 2020, they lost Luis Severino and Tommy Kahnle to season-ending injuries and lost Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Gleyber Torres, DJ LeMahieu, Zack Britton to injuries throughout the season. Six days into the 2021 season and it looks like nothing has changed.

David Quinn finally put Artemi Panarin and Mika Zibanejad together for an entire game and put the Alexis Lafrenière with them and the result was a second straight Rangers win, a 4-1 win in Washington. The Rangers have momentarily saved their season with back-to-back wins over the Flyers and Capitals, proving when they play a complete game, they can beat anyone.

After losing four straight for the second time in just 14 games, the Rangers picked up a 3-2 shootout win in Philadelphia, which they desperately needed. It wasn't pretty, it was most ugly, but the Rangers earned two points they had to have.

The Yankees had a chance to use their financial power as the team that makes more than any other team in baseball to make sure they would be the clear favorite in the American League in 2021. They chose not to and instead cut by payroll by about $50 million. Because of this, the Yankees will have to deal with the Rays and Blue Jays in the AL East, and the White Sox when it comes to the entire AL.

White Sox Dave of Barstool Sports joined me to talk about the state of the White Sox as spring training begins, the team's trade for Lance Lynn, signings of Liam Hendriks and Adam Eaton, firing or Rick Renteria, hiring of Tony La Russa, and expectations for White Sox fans in 2021.

The Rangers have lost 10 of 14 games and have the third-worst winning percentage in the NHL, ahead of only Detroit and Ottawa. The Rangers have put together two four-game losing streaks in only 14 games, and their season is now 25 percent over.

The Rangers blew another lead, missed an abundance of high-quality scoring chances, including breakaways and open nets, and they lost. They have now lost eight of 12 games this season, nearly all the same way.

The Yankees' 2021 officially begins next Wednesday in Tampa, and the health of the team will be the focal point of the season. The Yankees will need a lot to go right with this roster to win a championship, and it all centers around avoiding injuries.

The Rangers have played the Islanders three times this season and in all three games there was a shutout. The Rangers have been on the wrong end of the shutout in two of three games and they were on Monday night in a 2-0 loss. Once again, the Rangers' top two lines were unable to produce any offense.

The Yankees have one move left to make this offseason and that’s to bring Brett Gardner back. In order to stay under the luxury-tax threshold, it’s the only remaining move they “can” make. It’s now just a waiting game until pitchers and catchers report next week.

After an abysmal start to the season, the Rangers have won three of their last four games, earning seven of a possible eight points to climb the East standings. Their latest two points came in an impressive 4-2 win over the Capitals in advance of an important upcoming week against the Islanders and Bruins.
