The Yankees cooled off this weekend dropping two of three to the Reds but remain in first place in the American League East. 

Should they be all in on Tarik Skubal at the deadline or focus their attention elsewhere?

The Yankees were dealt another blow with the hamstring injury to Trent Grisham. Despite that they took the series in Toronto and should still be the final team standing in the American League in 2026. 

The Yankees split a rain shortened series with Boston after news broke  late Thursday evening that Aaron Judge would be out approximately two months with a stress fracture in his rib. 

Also, with Anthony Volpe in the midst of another one of his trademark slumps, will he be the odd man out when Jasson Dominguez comes off the IL?
