It's been a slog around the Yankees for a good six weeks now, they'd gone from 4 ½ up to four down in the AL East heading into Tuesday's not-quite-must-win-but-not-quite-NOT-must-win game with the Blue Jays at Rogers Centre.

Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera got married — in a walking boot
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free The Yankees' Oswaldo Cabrera did not let an injury get in the way of love. The Venezuelan utilityman married to fiancée Ari Gonzalez on Tuesday, according to photos posted to their Instagram stories. The 26-year-old had to wear a cumbersome accessory during the nuptials, however, as he's in a walking boot after a gruesome left ankle injury suffered on May 12 in Seattle ended his season prematurely. In the top of the ninth inning at T-Mobile Park, Cabrera ran home to score on a sacrifice fly, but stumbled, leading to the horrific injury. He was then taken off the field via ambulance. It was later revealed that Cabrera fractured his ankle, and he underwent surgery on May 18. CHECK OUT THE AND It seems the time away from the field helped Cabrera and Gonzalez put their relationship on the fast track; the pair announced their engagement on March 13. In what looked to be an intimate setting, the Yankee wore a tan jacket over a white shirt and pants with a white loafer on his right foot, opting to accessorize with his boot over a tie or pocket square. Gonzalez donned a thigh-length white dress with forearm-length sleeves for the occasion. They'll have plenty of time for the honeymoon, as Cabrera is not expected to return to the team this season due to his injury. Before his injury, Cabrera played in 34 games at second, third and in the outfield, posting 11 RBIs while hitting .243.

Will Warren keeps solidifying spot in Yankees rotation with gritty outing
Access the Yankees beat like never before Join Post Sports+ for exciting subscriber-only features, including real-time texting with Greg Joyce about the inside buzz on the Yankees. Try it free There was plenty of hard contact. There was ample traffic on the bases. No, this wasn't Will Warren's most impressive outing. It was, however, one of his grittiest. The young right-hander did well to fight his way through 5 ¹/₃ innings of two-run ball. It was the quiet Yankees bats that doomed them in a series-closing, 4-1 loss to the Cubs Sunday afternoon. 'I told him as much coming out. That's a day where they had a lot of good at-bats, he didn't necessarily have his best command,' manager Aaron Boone said. 'But he kind of navigated it. That's what the good ones do. When they're not at their best, they're still able to find a way.' The outing marked the 15th time in 20 starts that Warren has allowed three earned runs or fewer. He wasn't in the rotation plans, before major injuries to Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil. But the righty has impressed, pitching to a 4.63 ERA that is bloated due to a few blowup outings. There was the potential for that against the explosive Cubs. Leadoff man Michael Busch took Warren deep. He walked Kyle Tucker and allowed a Seiya Suzuki single. The Cubs were set up, except Warren got out of the inning unscathed. He did the same in the fourth, when the first two Cubs reached. He was lifted with one out in the sixth, only for reliever Ian Hamilton to serve up a go-ahead two-run homer to Dansby Swanson. 'I didn't think my stuff was as sharp today as it has been,' said Warren, who allowed six hits, walked three and struck out one. 'But battle through it, let the defense work behind me. Just try to grit through as long as I can. 'I would say, just bearing down. To be able to get through 5 ¹/₃, or whatever it was, against a team like that when I don't have my best stuff is positive.' The 26-year-old Warren finds himself as a key part of the rotation, even with Gil expected to return shortly. Clarke Schmidt was recently lost for the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. Cole won't be back this year. CHECK OUT THE AND While the Yankees could look to add a starter, Warren has outpitched veteran Marcus Stroman. He's set to fly by his previous high of innings pitched (130 ¹/₃ last year), already logging 95 ¹/₃. 'I feel good. I think we have a lot of older guys in this clubhouse, [Carlos] Rodón, Max [Fried], Gerrit's around, guys like that,' Warren said. 'So I can lean on them, learn a few things, how to manage workloads and stuff like that. Because obviously I've never done this amount of innings and starts in a year. But I'm feeling good. I think they've helped me out.'

Brian Cashman's best options for delivering on his Yankees trade deadline vow — and potential Plan Bs
Access the Yankees beat like never before Don't miss Greg Joyce's text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees. Sign Up Now 'Pencils down.' Brian Cashman uses the expression often in reference to the trade deadline. Because after 2018, MLB eliminated waiver trades between Aug. 1-31. That left the non-waiver portion as the last time you can externally improve your team. Advertisement So at 6 p.m. on July 31, it is 'pencils down.' The test is done. If you lose your starting shortstop on Aug. 1, good luck. Cashman recently promised 'to go to town' before the deadline. The Yankees' head of baseball operations believes he has the bones of a repeat AL champion. But also 'areas on this team that need fixing' — third base, rotation and bullpen. The market is fluid. Wins and losses over the next 10-ish days will impact who buys, sells and how much. Let's examine the three areas for best Yankees outcomes and Plan Bs:
