Who’s Hot

Rob Refsnyder
Since being recalled in late May,
Refsnyder has made the most of his playing time. Not only is he hitting
respectable .295 (.364 over the past week), he's also shown that he can be a
decent first baseman. It looks like the Yankees have every intention of keeping
the youngster around for the long haul which could allow Refsnyder to further
prove his worth in the organization.

Dellin Betances
Just Two weeks ago cracks had formed the
once impenetrable armor of Betances, but the repairs seem to have done the
trick as his pitching has regained its form. Now it's up to Girardi keep his
arm fresh by not overusing him in situations, that should allow Betances to
build off of the 1.35 ERA he has over the last week.

Carlos Beltran
It's been a strong first half for Beltran,
one that will most likely lead him to the All Star game in San Diego. It's
astonishing what he's accomplished thus far and the Yankees are all the better
for it. Imaging where the team would be without his numbers is a bit
unsettling, but luckily the Yankee haven't had to wonder about that up to this
point.

Alex Rodriguez
2016 has not been a banner year for
Rodriguez, after stunning many in the baseball world last season, he's looked
more like the washed up player everyone expected him to be. Hitting just .219,
there isn't much that could say things will turn around so moving him to a part
time role seems like the best course of action if the Yankees want to up their
chances at getting back into the mix in AL East.

Mark Teixeira
After missing most of June with a knee injury, Teixeira hasn't been able to find any kind of groove to pull him out of this season long slump. As the days go by, The Yankees could find themselves making another tough decision as what to do with the 36-year-old veteran.

Nathan Eovaldi
The team cannot afford to have him struggling at this point so he'll need to get back to pitching with the consistency he showed in May where he was 5-0 with 3.25 ERA. The 25 runs and 10 homers he surrendered in June is just not going to cut it.
