Austin Wells emerges from early slump to regain form for the Yankees
Yankees catcher Austin Wells admitted his first half of the season was his worst stretch, but recent play suggests he is turning it around.
Wells said the opening months, where he hit.148 with a.468 OPS over 62 games, were the toughest of his career. The slump prompted the Yankees to explore a trade for another catcher before the deadline, an effort that ultimately failed. Recent performances indicate the veteran is finding his rhythm again as the season heads into its final stretch.
Why it matters
Wells' rebound could stabilize the Yankees' roster and influence their playoff chances.
