NEW YORK — With the Yankees on a four-game losing streak — including three ugly losses in Boston — Brian Cashman addressed his team’s struggles for the second time this season before Tuesday’s series-opener against the Mariners.
The Yankees began the day a half-game out of fourth place in the American League East, and their offense had failed to score more than three runs in eight of their last 11 games. The Bombers went 3-8 over that stretch despite playing the sub-.500 White Sox and Mets and the last-place Red Sox.
On Sunday, hitting coach Dillon Lawson talked about the individual and overall offensive issues plaguing the Yankees. Cashman followed that up by expressing confidence in high-paid, scuffling veterans like DJ LeMahieu, Anthony Rizzo, Giancarlo Stanton and Josh Donaldson.
