Yankees Manager Makes Austin Wells Statement
GettyAustin Wells #28 of the New York Yankees reacts after striking out to end the ninth inning against the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on July 21, 2024 in New York City.
Wells has struggled in a big way this season.
He is currently batting .160 with 26 hits, four home runs, nine RBIs and 16 runs in 54 games this season.
After the tough loss, Aaron Boone was asked for his thoughts on Wells (via YES Network).
Reporter: “Do you get the sense that Austin’s struggles are weighing on him offensively, at least?”
Boone: “I have at certain times. I feel like he’s moving the needle right now, believe it or not. Had a really good at bat off the bench last night where he smoked the ball for the one RBI one hopper to Seigler. Had the base hit the night before. He was really struggling there for a while. I feel like he’s gaining a little bit of traction. I know the results haven’t necessarily been there yet and you’re facing another really tough left on left today. Part of that is this kind of stretch we’re going through. But I feel like the move is hopefully starting to gain a little traction and hopefully we start to see a little bit of results.”
