Yankees Survive Ben Rice Injury Scare, Send Volpe to Purgatory in Ridiculous Weekend vs. Orioles

About this episode

The episode discusses the Yankees' chaotic series against the Orioles, focusing on player injuries and roster decisions.

The Yankees just wrapped one of the weirdest, most chaotic series of the season and somehow dominated anyway. Adam Weinrib and Thomas Carannante break down a wild weekend vs. the Orioles, including a scary (but thankfully minor) Ben Rice injury moment, Anthony Volpe being sent back down, and what it all says about how this team is operating right now. Plus: Is George Lombard Jr. actually more likely to impact this season than Volpe or Spencer Jones? Jasson Dominguez is quietly producing, and Yovanny Cruz is forcing the Yankees’ hand. 👍 Like & subscribe for Yankees videos every Monday/Thursday at 2pm ET.
