The MLB season continues through May, and with teams still trying to improve their chances of winning a World Series championship, news keeps coming. Even for a top team like the New York Yankees, improvements are always being sought.
There is very little room for error in baseball, and it’s a common mistake to stagnate and not try to improve your franchise in any way you can. So it’s good that the New York Yankees didn’t fall into that trap.
Injury struggles are always a concern at this time of year, but as long as the injury isn’t too serious there’s plenty of time for a triumphant return, and that’s exactly what the Chicago Cubs are hoping for with Seiya Suzuki.
MLB News – May 26, 2022
The New York Yankees sign Matt Carpenter
The New York Yankees have the best record in baseball and a solid lead over the Tampa Bay Rays and Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East, but are still looking to improve on an already great team, this time by signing former St. Louis Cardinals All Star Matt Carpenter.
The New York Yankees announced the signing via tweet.
“The New York Yankees announced today that they have signed three-time All-Star INF Matt Carpenter to a major league contract and added him to the active roster” – New York Yankees
Matt Carpenter spent 11 years in MLB, all with the St. Louis Cardinals. In his last two seasons in the majors, he has failed to impress offensively, with batting averages of .186 in 2020 and .189. While his swing may not be as effective anymore, his ability to get to base hasn’t diminished since he had a .305 on-base percentage last season.
That signing could easily prove to be a pivotal moment in the 2022 MLB season.
Seiya Suzuki leaves the game with a finger injury

Such a loss is almost easier to absorb than a hard-fought game, since the Chicago Cubs never really stood a chance of winning and every win counts in MLB.
What’s hard to swallow is Seiya Suzuki’s injury, first tweeted by Patrick Mooney.
“Cubs outfielder Seiya Suzuki left today’s game with a sprained left ring finger” – Patrick Mooney
In a follow-up tweet by Patrick Mooney, he reported that the X-rays were negative, meaning it will hopefully be a short-term issue for Seiya Suzuki.
