Yankees catchers struggle, contributing to offensive issues this season

The New York Yankees, with a record of 41-26, are currently second in the AL East. Despite a four-game winning streak, the team faces significant offensive challenges, particularly from its catchers, who have not reached base this month. This statistic is stark amidst injuries to key players Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, alongside minor injuries to others like Austin Wells. The Yankees' catchers rank near the bottom in several offensive categories, creating a bottleneck in the batting order. With catchers J.C. Escarra and Ali Sánchez brought in to address these struggles, improvement is crucial as their offensive depth is tested.
