A little of everything, not a lot of anything. The pitching staff at 2.7 RA/G is a stabilizing force. Working against that, 3.0 R/G this week. Hard to climb with that kind of production.

Yankees News
The New York Yankees’ pitching depth took another hit today as Max Fried was placed on the 15-day injured list due to a left elbow bone bruise, adding to the injury woes that have plagued the rotation. This comes just as Carlos Rodón is set to return from his own elbow issues, and while his activation is a boost, it's hard to ignore the fact that the Yankees' staff has been exceptional lately, allowing just 2.7 runs per game in the past week. Unfortunately, this stellar pitching has been overshadowed by a lackluster offense that managed only 3.0 runs per game during the same stretch. With a 69-55 record, the Yankees need their bats to wake up if they want to make a real push in the division amid these pitching challenges.
