With 30 games remaining in the MLB season, the Yankees maintain a slim two-game lead over the Red Sox in the AL East. However, New York's vulnerability is increasing as their offense ranks last in MLB since Judge's injury, and their bullpen faces challenges with Cruz now sidelined.
The Red Sox, who went 21-4 in July, could overtake the Yankees if they win the crucial series in the Bronx this weekend. Both teams face pitching concerns, with Fried and Weathers on the IL, but the Yankees' decision not to add bullpen help at the trade deadline may prove costly as they navigate the final stretch. blablasex.es
