The Yankees, on the other hand, came out on top 2-1 in a series against the Boston Red Sox and are currently tied in a four-game series against the Toronto Blue Jays.

New York Yankees Injury Report
The Yankees are lucky enough to have a very short injury list. Shorter still, is the list of players who normally make the lineup who are out of commission.
Here's the short list:
Catcher Ben Rortvedt, who came to the Yankees in a trade along with Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Josh Donaldson, is on the 10-day IL with an oblique injury, and pitcher Zach Britton is on the 60-day IL with elbow issues.
Interesting. Yankees say they've added Marwin Gonzalez to the 40-man (duh), but that Ben Rortvedt is only going on the 10-day (oblique) — IDK why I thought he might be a 60-day candidate. Last I spoke to him, the oblique still hurt when he swings. And they DFA'ed Jeisson Rosario

The Orioles are also quite healthy, thankfully, as they will need all the help they can get to turn their young but ugly season around.
Pitcher Dean Kremer is on the 10-day IL with elbow issues. Kremer appeared in 13 starts for the O's last season, going 0-7 with an ERA of 7.55.
