New York Yankees legend Derek Jeter is hopeful that the reigning American League East champions can turn around their slow start to the season.
The injury-hit Yankees sit third in the AL East with a 41-33 record 74 games into the 2023 season. They are nine-and-a-half games back of the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays.
It is a far cry from last year. Only the eventual World Series champion Houston Astros stopped them in the AL Championship Series with an emphatic four-game series sweep. They have never looked the same since that postseason exit, and injuries to star players have only compounded the situation. But Jeter is not ready to write them off just yet.
