One of the reasons the Yankees are in the market for another starting pitcher is the fact they’re keeping an eye on Nestor Cortes’ innings.
He has reached base multiple times in 16 of his last 19 starts.
“It’s remarkable,’’ Boone said of LeMahieu, who played first base Saturday. “He’s getting on base at such a high [rate].”“He’s been getting results,’’ Boone said.Donaldson got the start at third and went 0-for-4 with three strikeouts. He’s mired in a 2-for-24 slump, with just a double and a walk in that stretch, and he has whiffed nine times.
He also hasn’t hit a home run since going deep for a third straight game on July 9, a span of 56 plate appearances over 15 games. With Yankees fans’ favorite target, Joey Gallo, on his way out of The Bronx, Donaldson heard some boos following his third strikeout on Saturday.For a second straight game, the outfielder came up with the bases full. He had walked to force in the tying run Friday night, but he ended a rally in the bottom of the first Saturday.That dropped him to 9-for-62 with a homer, 16 walks and 14 strikeouts with the bases loaded.
Andrew Benintendi hit third in the Royals’ lineup 21 times this season, but on a more powerful Yankees offense, it seemed unusual to see the lefty swinger, whose power has been down in 2022, in the three-spot on Saturday.Boone said with Anthony Rizzo out of the lineup against right-hander Jonathan Heasley, he was looking for some balance after LeMahieu and Judge.
