Around the Empire: Yankees news - 4/23/25
Briefly

The Yankees are facing significant challenges with both their offense and pitching staff. Giancarlo Stanton has begun rehab and participated in batting practice after struggling with elbow tendinitis. Conversely, the rotation has become a concern as Gerrit Cole is out for the season and other pitchers are sidelined with injuries.
