The Yankees optioned Elmer Rodriguez back to Triple-A after Tuesday's win. While disappointing to some, the move is the right one for his MLB future.

It's the middle game of a three-game set between the AL East-leading Yankees and the Texas Rangers, tied for second place in the AL West.

“We’re paid to make very difficult decisions,” Cashman said in an interview with The New York Post. “This year’s New York Yankees team is a lot deeper. We have a lot more choices and (Jose) Caballero has emerged with his play. We kind of had to honor that. That snuck up on us a little bit, but that’s good.”

The New York Yankees superstar continues to make history left and right.

With the Yankees clicking on all fronts — and showing some increased urgency in their decision-making after last year’s shortcomings — the team is 25-11 overall. That’s good enough for the best record in the American League and the second-best record in baseball behind the Braves. And to think, the Bombers could get better soon.

The New York Yankees aren’t just winning, they’re dominating in ways that go beyond the standings. If you needed proof that this start is real, look no further than one stat that captures the full picture: WAR (Wins Above Replacement).

The Yankees are about to get one of their horses back in Carlos Rodon. The only thing is that the three-time All-Star can't leave the club with any doubts.

The Los Angeles Angels aren't contending, and they would surely love to get out from under the remainder of Trout's contract, which runs through 2030 at $37.1 million annually. Law then proposed a trade in which the Yankees would send Giancarlo Stanton and prospects to the Angels in exchange for the three-time MVP.
