Episode Details

Ryan Weathers battled through a rough start, giving up five runs early, but rallied to finish four and two-thirds innings, adjusting mid-game by throwing more fastballs to disrupt the Pirates’ hitters. Manager Aaron Boone praised his gritty effort, calling it a “grind” that gave the team a real shot to win — especially with the bullpen already taxed after a doubleheader. Meanwhile, Giancarlo Stanton’s return remains uncertain, with no clear timeline despite steady progress in his running rehab, and the offense continues to struggle without both Stanton and Aaron Judge. The Yankees also finalized their draft class, signing all 20 picks, including standout two-way prospect Luke Pettitte. And in a nostalgic twist, Boone recalled Rafael Flores — the Pirates’ backup catcher who was once a Yankees prospect — highlighting how baseball’s small world keeps surprising everyone.
