Overview
- The Yankees beat the Colorado Rockies 5-3 on Wednesday to secure their 34th consecutive winning season.
- Cam Schlittler struck out 10 over seven innings, allowed one run and lowered his AL-best ERA to 2.01.
- Aaron Judge made his first appearance since May 31 after an 84-game absence with a broken rib but went hitless and was removed in the seventh inning as part of a guarded plan.
- Imaging showed Jazz Chisholm Jr. has a sprained thumb and was placed on the injured list, and media reports say Anthony Volpe was scratched from Triple-A and is expected to be recalled.
- Late-season pressure is rising leaguewide as the Braves' recent offensive slump fuels a tighter NL East race and the White Sox saw their magic number to clinch a playoff spot drop to 13, increasing roster urgency.
