What happened: The Yankees are working the trade market for catching help ahead of the deadline, according to MLB.com. New York has already been tied to multiple names as the front office weighs upgrades at the position.

Why it matters: New York has been linked to the same Tyler Stephenson floated as a trade-deadline option, with Ryan Jeffers also drawing interest. The push comes as the Yankees sit 53-43 on a one-game losing streak, with the deadline approaching to solidify the roster for a playoff push.

By the numbers: Yankees are 53-43 this season, 3-2 over their last five, currently on a one-game losing streak, averaging 4.6 runs scored and 3.9 allowed.

What to watch: Watch for the Yankees to narrow their catching targets as the trade deadline nears.
