Breaking down all the Yankees’ tricky decisions for wild-card roster

The New York Yankees are preparing to trim their roster from 28 to 26 players ahead of a likely AL wild-card series against the Boston Red Sox. With 10 regular-season games remaining, the team faces roster decisions shaped by player health and performance evaluations. The Yankees trail the Tampa Bay Rays by five games in the division race.

Injuries remain a significant factor, with three players on the injured list aiming to return in time for the postseason. Additionally, outfielder Aaron Judge exited Wednesday's game early due to right lower leg tightness, though the team hopes he avoids the injured list.
