The Yankees have been firing on all cylinders this season, holding firm at the top of the AL East with a solid 30–20 record. The post MLB Rumors Swirl as Yankees Likely to Target 27YO Rangers Phenom Amid Growing Third Base Concerns appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Preview the May 22 matchup between the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers with recent trends, how to watch, livestream info, and more.

Jasson Domínguez homered in the bottom of the ninth inning to rally the New York Yankees a 4-3 win over the Texas Rangers.

A strong bat and gifted defender who can play anywhere — including third base — and who won a Silver Slugger as utilityman last season sure would be useful to the Yankees right now.

The starting pitchers for the Rangers allowed six runs in this series, an average of two runs per start. That went three runs by Patrick Corbin, two runs by Jacob deGrom, and one run by Nathan Eovaldi. It was a virtual cascade of relative excellent against arguably baseball’s toughest lineup at the moment.

Rangers catcher Jonah Heim could return to action as soon as Thursday, one day after leaving Texas' game against the New York Yankees in the second inning due to a right hand injury. Manager Bruce Bochy said Heim suffered a compressed nerve in his throwing hand on Wednesday when he singled for the Rangers' first hit in the top of the second on a chilly night at Yankee Stadium.

If the game ends up postponed, it could create a real scheduling bind for the teams as this is the Rangers’ only scheduled trip to Yankee Stadium. The obvious choice for rescheduling would be Sept. 11, an off day for the Rangers ahead of a series at the New York Mets, but the Yankees are scheduled to play that day against Detroit.
