This season has been a rollercoaster ride for the New York Yankees. The Bronx side struggled in the beginning but managed to turn things around in the month of May. Their pitching rotation has been fragile, with injuries and poor form resulting in a thin bullpen. In their latest game against the Cincinnati Reds, however, a star pitcher is taking the mound after returning from injury.
This is a huge moment for the Yankees as they can now field a stronger set of pitchers. The team has struggled, at times, for a lack of quality arms. But this pitcher’s return is a welcome moment as Yankees fans celebrate.
