Yankees Fire Hitting Coach Dillon Lawson Amid Batting Struggles, Announce Sean Casey as Replacement

The New York Yankees relieved hitting coach Dillon Lawson of his duties due to the team's poor offensive performance this season, especially since Aaron Judge's injury.
General manager Brian Cashman, who rarely makes midseason coaching changes, decided a new hitting coach was necessary to turn the offense around.
The Yankees ranked near the bottom of the league in batting average, on-base percentage and runs scored, prompting Cashman to make a change.
Former MLB player Sean Casey, known for his hitting during his career, was named as Lawson's replacement for the remainder of this season and next.
Manager Aaron Boone's job is reportedly safe despite the team's struggles, as ownership believes injuries and lack of depth are the primary causes.
