What happened: Columnist Joel Sherman noted that several New York players have not produced the campaigns they envisioned. He highlighted Jazz Chisholm Jr. as an instance of this trend, stating the roster must remain fixated on achieving its ultimate goals.

Why it matters: The club is navigating a stretch without Aaron Judge while attempting to sustain momentum toward a potential postseason run. Internal cohesion remains an emphasis as the front office evaluates the market ahead of the August trade deadline.

By the numbers: New York holds a 50-41 record and a two-game winning streak this season. The Yankees are averaging 4.7 runs per contest while allowing 3.9.

What to watch: The Yankees are scheduled to face the Pittsburgh Pirates as they continue to weigh roster adjustments.
