The New York Yankees received sobering news Saturday when slugger Aaron Judge said he has a torn ligament in a toe and is not quite ready to start baseball activities.
Then they walked the fine line of continuing life without the slugger and held on for a victory over one of the American League's best teams.
"Right now we have to go out with what we got and try to win games and not worry about ," New York starter Luis Severino said. "We want Judge in the lineup, but right now he needs to be healthy." Texas is hitting a major-league-best .312 with runners in scoring position and heads into Sunday 5-2 in its past seven games overall since a 2-7 slump earlier this month. Marcus Semien, the last of the strikeout victims on Saturday, had three of the Rangers' eight hits, but the offense went 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position, stranded 10 and got blanked for the sixth time this year.
Eovaldi won seven straight decisions from April 29 to June 10 but is 0-1 with a 4.85 ERA over his past two outings. He took a no-decision Tuesday in Chicago against the White Sox when he allowed four runs and five hits in six innings.
