• Players convened a closed-door meeting following Saturday’s loss to address the slump and rebuild unity on the roster.
• Francisco Lindor described the gathering as productive and reiterated the team’s sole focus on competing for wins.
• Brandon Nimmo likened the session to last year’s similar meeting that preceded a late-season turnaround as the team copes with pitching and health issues.
• New York now trails the Phillies by half a game and will aim to regroup before returning home for a three-game series against the Brewers.
