The New York Yankees are on fire, and they're about to get even stronger. Winners of 15 of their last 17 games, the Bronx Bombers boast the American League's best record—and two All-Star reinforcements are on the horizon.
Carlos Rodón and Gerrit Cole, both working their way back from injuries, are tracking toward a return to the mound. Rodón could make his Yankees debut as early as Sunday in Milwaukee following a minor league rehab assignment. Cole, the reigning AL Cy Young winner, isn't far behind. Their imminent arrivals promise to deepen a rotation that already leads the majors with a stellar 2.77 ERA.
But it's not just the starting pitching that has the Yankees rolling. The lineup has been relentless, piling up 46 runs during a five-game winning streak. "Top to bottom, they keep the pressure on," said manager Aaron Boone after Tuesday's 7-4 win over Texas. And the bullpen? Boone believes it's flying under the radar: "It might just be better than everyone thinks."
With the offense clicking, the bullpen delivering, and two aces on the way, the Yankees are shaping up as a formidable force as the season heats up. For fans, it's the perfect time to gear up in pinstripes—because this team is built to go the distance.
