If it feels like Cashman is frantic, it’s only because the Yankees have looked so awful for the last six weeks. They’re 14-23 since June 13, which accounts for a stunning collapse on Aaron Boone’s watch. These are the same Yankees who had a seven-game lead in the East on May 28.

Judge missed yesterday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies, and the Yankees lost 9-4. This was their second loss to the Phillies after a brutal 12-5 showing in the first game, fresh off a sloppy losing series against the Toronto Blue Jays last week.
