"And we’re going to compete with who we have here, and we look forward to getting who we need back at a later date.’’ Trouble in the ninth ![]() “But we have time to make up ground,'' said Cashman. In the Yankees’ case, “you’ve got to be thankful that it’s a long season because we’re banged up so bad right now. “I think we have a championship-caliber team, yeah,’’ Cashman said before Wednesday night’s game against Cleveland at Yankee Stadium.

Hours later, the Yankees' 4-3 win against Cleveland came at a cost.
