Around the Empire: Yankees news - 6/16/23

NJ.com | Max Goodman: When the Mets walked the Yankees off on Wednesday night, Nick Ramirez was on the mound.That Ramirez was in to pitch the tenth inning, and Albert Abreu in to pitch the ninth before him, highlights a potential concern as we head toward the dog days of summer.The Yankee bullpen has been outstanding in 2023, but key pieces like Wandy Peralta, Clay Holmes, and Michael King are all on pace to set career highs in appearances and innings pitched.
