The Yankees were 5-15 during a 20-game slide, before getting a 7-2 win against Toronto in Buffalo on September 9th, and have outscored their opponents 61-13 during this run. The winning streak has elevated New York to the 5th seed in the American League and within three games of the AL East-leading Tampa Bay Rays.

Plus, more injury news for the Bronx Bombers, including updates on Zack Britton, Gleyber Torres, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and DJ LeMahieu.

The Yankees swept a 2 game set from the Braves and are set to take on the Boston Red Sox for 4 games starting on Friday.
