Yankees struggle offensively despite strong pitching performance
Summary

The New York Yankees are facing significant offensive challenges, highlighted by injuries to key players like Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger, and Giancarlo Stanton. Over the last 30 days, the team's offensive performance has been among the worst in Major League Baseball, ranking 29th in runs scored and having the lowest batting average. Despite these issues, their pitching staff has excelled, maintaining a league-best ERA of 2.81 since mid-July.
