With a rested bullpen and a lineup that has been punishing mistakes, the Yankees should seize control in the middle innings. Expect Nestor Cortes Jr. to mix cutters and sweepers effectively, limiting Oakland to scattered singles through five frames. The Athletics counter with left-hander Ken Waldichuk, but his recent command lapses set up a decisive three-run fifth when New York’s right-handed core—Judge, Stanton and Volpe—string together extra-base hits. Oakland’s offense remains streaky; they scratch out a run in the third on a Shea Langeliers double and another in the sixth when Cortes yields to the bullpen, yet they struggle to build sustained rallies. New York’s late tack-on runs come against an overworked A’s relief corps that has been stretched thin after yesterday’s roster shuffle. Clay Holmes closes the door in the ninth despite a harmless solo shot, preserving a comfortable 7-3 victory and extending the Yankees’ division lead.

Athletics lose Severino and Civale to shoulder injuries

Oakland's rotation loses its strikeout leader (Severino: 9.34 K/9, 65 SO) and one of its only two wins-column contributors (Civale: 5-2) simultaneously. With Springs carrying a 4.07 ERA and the team at 28-31 (-34 run diff), the Athletics lean heavily on Jump, who will start today against the Cubs.

Aaron Civale headed to IL with shoulder/lat injury

Civale is Oakland's best starter (5-2, 4.20 ERA, 39 SO in 11 GS) and his absence exposes a rotation already leaning on Severino (4.23 ERA, 2-5) and Springs (4.11 ERA, 3-5). Athletics sit at .500 and need their rotation stability with a -14 run differential.
