Gleyber Torres is making it hard for the Yankees to sit him on the bench. He’s one of the better offensive players so far this season, albeit in an extremely small sample size of four games but he already has two home runs and he’s walked five times. This is a good problem for the Yankees, rights? Plus. Nestor Cortes made his season debut and looked good in the five innings he pitched while making a nifty defensive play to save a run. Anthony Rizzo hit a home run on Monday night and it looks like the offense is doing what it’s supposed to do so far. 

ESPN put out an article and wondered if 2023 is a ‘must win’ year for the Yankees. Do they HAVE to win the World Series? And Game Two of the series with the Phillies pits Domingo Germán against Matt Strahm on Tuesday in the Bronx. What does Germán have to do to stay in the rotation? We discuss it.
