The New York Yankees are struggling offensively, making franchise history for all the wrong reasons. Over their last five games, the team has registered just 16 hits, the fewest in the organization's history for such a span. They managed to avoid being the first MLB team since 1900 to have three or fewer hits in five consecutive games by executing back-to-back two-out singles in their latest outing. The Yankees are 8-for-107 with 38 strikeouts during this stretch, indicating a significant offensive slump. Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe expressed frustration, mentioning the team's pressing situation at the plate. With the trade deadline approaching, the Yankees may need to make moves to turn their season around.
