Blue Jays’ John Schneider Announces Dalton Varsho Update After Yankees Loss originally appeared on Athlon Sports.

New York Yankees captain Aaron Judge sustained a flexor strain in his right elbow, placing him on the 10-day injured list. Manager Aaron Boone confirmed the injury after Saturday’s 9-4 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies at Yankee Stadium.

The Blue Jays embarrassed the Yankees with an 8–4 win to clinch the season series and the AL East lead with their 60th win.

Blue Jays’ John Schneider Gets Honest About Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Before Yankees Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. If the Toronto Blue Jays continue their current form, they could make a deep playoff run for the first time since 2016. However, they need their biggest star to play like one to be a championship contender.

Kyle Schwarber hit a pair of two-run homers and J.T. Realmuto followed the Yankees’ ninth error in four games with a tiebreaking, three-run drive in a four-run seventh inning, lifting the Philadelphia Phillies over New York 12-5.

With the Yankees in danger of their defense costing them another game, and falling further behind the Blue Jays in the AL East, Ben Rice saved the day.

It’s not just about wish lists anymore. This is about staying afloat. The Yankees’ bullpen has been battered lately, the rotation is hanging on with duct tape, and Toronto is expanding it’s lead in the American League East.

Ben Rice hit a tiebreaking home run in the ninth inning, Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Cody Bellinger also homered and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-4.

“Just not good enough,” said manager Aaron Boone, who along with pitching coach Matt Blake was ejected in the seventh inning for arguing balls and strikes. “We’ve got to obviously tighten it up. Confident we will. We’ll continue to work at it. We have good defenders here. But tonight was obviously a rough night for us.”
