There's a too-long history of baseball players punching things in frustration and getting injured. The New York Yankees will have to hope Will Warren didn't just add himself to that list. Warren had the frustration first, getting hit around by the Atlanta Braves on Saturday night.
After adding the 5-foot-9 Hawaiian to the active roster on Friday, manager Aaron Boone talked Garcia up as a guy who could give them innings that night for a bullpen game against the Braves.
BOTTOM LINE: The New York Yankees aim to end a three-game slide with a win over the Atlanta Braves. Atlanta has a 25-22 record in home games and a 43-53 record overall. The Braves have a 36-18 record in games when they record eight or more hits.
Yankees announcers Joe Girardi and Michael Kay both shook their heads at Vivas's visible lack of effort and voiced their disappointment on-air. "Well, this is inexcusable," Girardi said. "I know [the Yankees] went over that in a meeting. That can't happen. Those are little things that cost you a chance to have Aaron Judge hit with first and third."
Pinch-hitter Giancarlo Stanton delivered a two-run double and Bellinger added an RBI single that made it 7-3. But Judge extinguished the rally when he struck out against lefty Dylan Lee with runners on the corners.
