What happened: The top of the New York Yankees batting order has produced a recent offensive breakout. The surge from the rest of the lineup coincides with Aaron Judge rejoining the active roster following an 84-game absence.
Why it matters: The supplemental production provides crucial support for Aaron Judge as the club navigates the final month of the regular season. Generating consistent offense from the top of the order remains a priority for playoff positioning.
By the numbers: New York is 80-60 this season and enters on a three-game winning streak. The Yankees are averaging 4.5 runs per contest while allowing 3.7.
What to watch: The Yankees face the Mets next.
