Yankees sweep Guardians despite absence of Aaron Judge
Summary

The New York Yankees completed a sweep of the Cleveland Guardians on June 10, scoring 18 runs across three games. Despite concerns about their offense without Aaron Judge, several players like Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham, and Paul Goldschmidt stepped up. Gerrit Cole reached 100 mph on a fastball for the first time since 2022, although he struggled through four innings. Anthony Volpe and Jasson Domínguez both continue to impact the roster as Volpe receives most starts at shortstop and Domínguez progresses in his rehab assignment. The Yankees also have plans to adapt their pitching staff as Ryan Weathers warms up for potential relief duties.
