The Yankees are World Series contenders again, but they'll need to upgrade their roster at the deadline. Here are three storylines to watch.

Headed to the injured list is right-handed relief pitcher Luke Weaver, who tweaked his hamstring while warming up in the bullpen on Sunday and was unable to pitch. Weaver was diagnosed with a left hamstring strain and is expected to miss four to six weeks of action.

The Boston Red Sox announced a trade with the Cincinnati Reds, sending pitcher Brian Van Belle to the Reds for cash.

Given his early start in New York, Toronto can only wonder how Yarbrough, a pitcher who was firmly under their control, might have fit.
