Top stories from last week:

• The week started with three games against the first place Indians. Corey Kluber outdueled Luis Severino in Monday’s 6-2 loss. Tuesday’s game was rained out, forcing the two teams to play a doubleheader Wednesday. The Yankees lost the first game 2-1, then lost the second game 9-4.
• The Red Sox came to town next. CC Sabathia pitched the Yankees to a 6-2 win Thursday in the opener, but the offense didn’t do much of anything in Friday’s 4-1 loss. The Yankees received a great start from Masahiro Tanaka in Saturday’s 5-1 win, then won a 9-2 blowout Sunday.
• Injury Updates: Aaron Hicks (oblique) was placed on the 10-day DL with a strain, though it’s not as bad as his last one. Aaron Judge (shoulder) continues to receive treatment but has not yet had a cortisone shot. Aroldis Chapman (elbow) had an MRI last week, which came back clean. Clint Frazier (oblique) will begin a minor league rehab assignment Wednesday. Garrett Cooper (hamstring) had his rehab stint halted by an illness. Kyle Higashioka (catcher) has started taking batting practice.
• The Yankees acquired Erik Kratz from the Indians in a cash trade for extra catcher depth. Kratz, Jordan Montgomery, Ben Heller, and Bryan Mitchell were the first wave of September call-ups. Matt Holliday was activated off the disabled list as well. Gio Gallegos and Caleb Smith were involved in shuttle moves.
• Brian Cashman headed to Japan last week to get a firsthand look at Shohei Otani. It’s still unknown whether Otani will make the jump to MLB this offseason.
• SS Thairo Estrada, OF Estevan Florial, 1B Chris Gittens, SS Kyle Holder, LHP Justus Sheffield, and RHP Dillon Tate will represent the Yankees in the Arizona Fall League.
• The Yankees will reportedly visit Philadelphia for the first time since the 2009 World Series next year. They’re due to face the NL East in interleague play.
