KANSAS CITY, Mo. — With Memorial Day now in the rearview mirror, the Yankees have passed the first real mile marker of the season.
More than a third of the regular season is complete, meaning the typical caveats of “it’s early” or “small sample size” have lost some steam. And while there is still a long way to go, it’s a good time to take stock of where the Yankees stand.
In an American League where they were one of only three teams that entered Wednesday with a record above .500, the Yankees have put themselves in a solid position entering the summer months.
Leaning on the success of a rotation that has served as their backbone — even with Carlos Rodón and Gerrit Cole only just returning and now Max Fried on the shelf — the Yankees have had more question marks involving their bullpen and the bottom half of their lineup, though there are certainly bigger problems to have in the grand scheme of things.
