The Yankees experienced a disappointing month of June marked by a struggling offense, continuing a pattern seen in previous seasons. The team's scoring woes peaked as they managed three or fewer runs in 14 of 26 games, including a frustrating 30-inning scoreless streak. Key players, like Aaron Judge, faced slumps, contributing to the team’s challenges. Despite some bright spots in May that improved GM Brian Cashman’s approval ratings, June exposed weaknesses, especially as the Yankees could only salvage wins against lower-ranking teams like the Orioles and Athletics.
A sputtering offense lay at the heart of the Yankees' downturn, something many could have predicted at the start of the year based on some of the roster decisions made by GM Brian Cashman.
June rolled around and too many of the key contributors on offense through the first two months crashed back to Earth. The team scored three or fewer runs in 14 out of 26 games.
This past month has done nothing if not show us how much the team relies on historically good production from Aaron Judge, who endured a relative slump in June.
The only thing that prevented them from finishing with a sub-.500 record in the month was taking two out of three from the last place Orioles and Athletics.
