• In their first home series since the All-Star break, the Yankees welcomed the A’s to the Bronx by scoring 17 runs in the opener. Some late rallies fell short on Saturday, but they held off a late barrage to win the rubber game.
• Injury News: Ivan Nova injured his ankle in Triple-A and was placed on the disabled list. Both Eric Chavez and Rafael Soriano started rehab assignments last week, and will return this week. Alex Rodriguez is doing fine in his rehab from knee surgery. Sergio Mitre was placed on the disabled list with a number of ailments, including shoulder tendinitis.
