The New York Yankees in August were indifferent – neither good, nor bad, just lukewarm. They started the month at 62-48 and two games behind the Tampa Bay Rays, in 2nd place in the American League East. They finished August at 78-60 and still two games behind. Their monthly record 16-12. Lukewarm.

Aaron Judge still out injured. Clay Bellinger also on the injjured list for the majority of the month.
