The Yankees (39-24, tied for first in AL East) aiming to break this recent skid against the Indians (33-31, 9.5 GB in AL Central) on Sunday at 1:10 p.m.

Yankees notes

The Yankees have lost five of their last six games entering today. ...Didi Gregorius belted his first homer of the season last night. He finished the night 2-for-4. ...Domingo German was placed on the 10-day IL with a hip flexor strain. He had been struggling a bit in his last few starts, which could be attributed to the injury. ...DJ LeMahieu might have had his 11-game hit streak snapped on Friday night, but he came back yesterday with a 2-for-4 performance.
