New York Yankees top prospect Spencer Jones has been scratched from tonight's game in AAA due to back spasms.

NEW YORK– It hasn’t been easy for the Yankees since the All-Star break. They split the first six games, and left Toronto on Wednesday with a bad taste in their mouths because they didn’t gain any ground on the first-place Blue Jays in the American League East race.

The sloppy Yanks committed two more errors, including one during the go-ahead rally by the Phillies, and the bullpen coughed up 10 runs over the final three innings.

Schwarber has 11 home runs in July with six in his past seven games since he won the MLB All-Star Game in a swing-off.

With only six days to go until Thursday's deadline, Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Eugenio Suárez has emerged as the top projected target for the Yankees -- which makes sense, considering he has 36 home runs, only one fewer than New York superstar Aaron Judge.

The Phillies are half a game behind the New York Mets for the top spot in the NL East at 58-44. They blew a chance to finish off a three-game sweep of the Boston Red Sox their last time out on Wednesday, but allowed 6 runs with two outs in the fifth inning, squandering a 5-0 lead before eventually losing 9-8 in 11 innings.

The Yankees are showing interest in Pirates' Oneil Cruz, and it could spell trouble for Anthony Volpe’s future as the team’s shortstop.

After another error-riddled game, Yankees observers and fans say that manager Aaron Boone is near the end of his tenure in the Bronx.

New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Anthony Volpe has made “a few too many” fielding errors this season after the shortstop made his 12th miscue of the season in Monday’s 4-1 loss at Toronto.
