Thunder manager Pat Osborn laid out their usage plan and explained what it means to the minor leaguers to play their most important games beside four Yankees.
SNY: There’s lots of news today in our semi-regular injured players update!

The 2018 Yankees previously held the record after bashing 266 dingers, but the 2019 Yankees one-upped them with their 267th last night, and there are still three more weeks to go. Although the Yankees beat their own record, they don’t lead the Majors this year; they are currently eight round-trippers behind the Minnesota Twins, who have gone yard a whopping 275 times this season.
