What happened: The New York Yankees secured a salvage win against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but underlying issues with run production remain apparent. The roster continues to struggle generating adequate offense from players not named Judge.

Why it matters: With Aaron Judge still sidelined, the injury complicates the Yankees' trade deadline calculus. Management must determine if internal options or external acquisitions are required to bolster the lineup.

By the numbers: The Dodgers hold a 59-33 record this season, scoring 5.2 runs per game while yielding 3.7. New York sits at 48-40 with the trade deadline approaching.

What to watch: The Yankees will evaluate trade market options for offensive upgrades. The front office could utilize minor league assets like Jasson Domínguez or Spencer Jones in potential deals.
