Aaron Judge and the New York Yankees are enduring a challenging regular season, causing growing concern among their devoted fan base. With the team suffering its fifth consecutive defeat, worries are mounting about their slipping position in the standings and their recent lackluster performances on the field.
On Tuesday night, Yankees fans were left disappointed once again as their team fell to the Los Angeles Angels in Game 2 of the series, marking their fifth straight loss. This setback dealt a significant blow not just to the Yankeesâ momentum, but it also threatened to result in their second consecutive series loss.
Despite Judgeâs stellar individual performances, the Yankees are navigating a turbulent period. A string of injuries and the gradual return of key players to the roster have contributed to the current struggles of the New York franchise.
There is, however, some positive news on the horizon. A key right-handed pitcher is making promising strides in his recovery from injury, and the return of Giancarlo Stanton provides a boost to the team. Additionally, RHP Marcus Stroman is showing substantial progress in the Somerset Syracuse, as reported by the team on their social media accounts, offering a glimmer of hope for Yankees fans as they look towards a turnaround.
Stromanâs injury update
Starting in April, Marcus Stroman was placed on the 15-day injured list by the Yankees, who initially hoped for a swift recovery. However, as his injury progressed, it became clear that an extended rehabilitation stint was necessary. Consequently, Stroman was assigned to the Syracuse Mets, where ongoing inflammation in his left knee required careful management, despite no impediments to his arms or hands.
