General manager Brian Cashman has joined the struggling New York Yankees for a series at Tampa Bay that started Tuesday night.
With owner Hal Steinbrenner in attendance, things didn\'t get better as the Yankees lost 5-3 to the Rays, the team\'s 17th loss in 23 games. Still, New York remains in one of the American League wild-card spots.
\"Because of how we\'ve been playing, I\'ve decided to join us,\" Cashman said before Tuesday\'s game. \"It\'s been a struggle, obviously. Thankfully we got out of the gates really strong, so hopefully that cushion will allow us to work through this hopefully sooner than later on because it\'s gone on long enough.\"
