Santander’s hot streak continues for O’s
Anthony Santander went 1-for-4 with a home run and two RBI in Tuesday’s loss to the Yankees. Santander broke up a shutout in the ninth inning when he homered off Clay Holmes, who was brought on in a non-save situation. After getting off to a slow start, Santander has heated up in a big way as of late. The veteran right fielder is slashing .292/.347/.738 in the month of June with nine home runs and 16 RBI.
X-rays and CT scan come back negative on Judge
Aaron Judge told reporters late Tuesday that X-rays and a CT scan on his left hand came back negative for any structural damage. Excellent news. It’s an extremely positive update from Judge, who added that it’s possible he won’t wind up missing any time at all. The 32-year-old superstar was sent for additional imaging and further evaluation at a local hospital after being hit on the left hand by a 95-mph fastball during Tuesday’s game against the Orioles, but it sounds like he’s managed to avoid serious injury. It’s a massive relief for the Yankees, and fantasy managers as well. He’s day-to-day for the moment.

Take the under. The under is 4-1 in the Orioles’ last five games against the Yankees. Cole might not pitch deep into tonight’s game, but he should also give the Yankees a boost. Not that New York necessarily needs one. The Yankees boast one of the top pitching staffs in all of baseball this season.
