The Yankees entered play on Saturday afternoon against the Phillies with the second-worst bullpen ERA in Major League Baseball since May 30 (5.49). They had the highest home run per nine ratio (1.7) and were tied with the Nationals for the worst FIP in relief in that span (5.17). All of those numbers went up in Saturday’s loss.

The New York Yankees will be without Aaron Judge for the near future as they chase the AL East-leading Toronto Blue Jays.

BOTTOM LINE: The New York Yankees aim to stop a three-game slide when they take on the Philadelphia Phillies. New York has a 30-21 record at home and a 56-48 record overall. The Yankees have gone 36-13 in games when they scored five or more runs.

The New York Yankees have placed star outfielder Aaron Judge on the 10-day injured list with a flexor strain in his right elbow, an injury he suffered during a 9-4 home loss to the Philadelphia Phillies in Friday’s series opener. Though significant, the injury is less devastating than initially feared.
