Harrison Bader exits Yankees' ...

NEW YORK - On Wednesday night's ninth inning, Harrison Bader and Oswald Peraza became the latest Yankees to leave a game due to injuries.

Despite being "in good spirits," according to manager Aaron Boone, Bader was having his head and neck examined. Meanwhile, Peraza rolled his right ankle while filling in for Bader on a successful steal of a base in the ninth inning.

The winning margin was given by Jose Trevino's pinch-hit single in the 10th inning for the Yankees, who were down to their final available position player. The team is now looking for significant contributions from all able-bodied players in pinstripes.

Isiah Kiner-Falefa praised the Yankees' comeback victory over the Cleveland Guardians at Yankee Stadium, saying, "I admire the manner we won. That's the only thing we can do now that everyone is down.

As a result, Willie Calhoun and Jake Bauers hit single home runs in the fifth inning against Shane Bieber's starting pitching (9th inning groundout by DJ LeMahieu, 10th inning sac bunt by IKF) and advanced the tying and winning runs into scoring position.

Before Trevino won it in the 10th on a soft single to center, Trevino started a walk-off celebration that Trevino called innings earlier. Calhoun hit an RBI single to tie the game in the ninth off closer Emmanuel Clase.

Harrison Bader's latest injury

In the ninth inning, with two outs, and the score knotted at 2-2, IKF, starting in left field for the first time in the majors, misplayed Myles Straw's sinking liner.

Oscar Gonzalez, a pinch-hitter for Cleveland, followed with a short fly ball into the Bermuda Triangle in left field at this juncture in the wet game at Yankee Stadium. Shortstop IKF All of Anthony Volpe and Bader came together.

Bader, who missed the Yankees' first 30 games because of a strained left oblique sustained in spring training, had just been reinstated from their extensive injury list on Tuesday night.

Peraza was replaced by Aaron Hicks in the bottom of the ninth, and he later scored the go-ahead run on Calhoun's single.

Peraza ran a short distance to test the ankle before realizing he couldn't continue playing. According to Boone, he was taken for X-rays but it was unclear at the time if Peraza would join the dozen Yankees who are now on the IL.

Bauers resumed a power run that propelled him from Triple-A in his first game after slamming his leg against the wall to make a sensational grab at Texas on Saturday.

As the Yankees got ready for their upcoming series, a three-game weekend set at Tampa Bay, Calhoun remarked, "Felt like the energy was there in the dugout, even though we were down the last two nights.
