Observation: I read where Matt Carpenter is getting some practice time in the outfield. Also, as you can see above, Florial at .293 with 25 SB and Andujar at .317. With those three developments, you wonder how long the Yanks will go with Joey Gallo, who is only hitting .167-9-18, OPS+ 76. I mean, when Carpenter is taking OF reps, you got to wonder if he, Florial or Andujar could be a replacement for Gallo, or if the Yanks might find someone in a trade. Also, Aaron Hicks’ playing time (.216-3-18, OPS+83) also may be getting reduced. (Gallo and Hicks stats before yesterday afternoon’s game).
