The New York Yankees are hosting the Cleveland Guardians for a three-game series starting tonight at Yankee Stadium. The Yankees’ bullpen has faced criticism for its performance, particularly after a lack of offseason upgrades despite struggles in 2025. Some analysts speculate that internal options, like Ryan Weathers and returning players, could help improve the bullpen. Currently, the Yankees’ bullpen ranks fourth in the American League in ERA, though blown saves have caused concern. As trade season approaches, the team may consider external reinforcements as well.
