As Carlos Rodon progresses, the New York Yankees are starting to click

The New York Yankees started the month in the basement of the American League East but have wiggled their way out. They sit in third place in the division with a 29-20 record. They're just six games behind the red-hot Tampa Bay Rays, who lead the division.

They've gotten some key players back this month, and that's looking to continue with Carlos Rodon progressing through his rehab.

Giancarlo Stanton has been on the IL since April 16th with a hamstring issue. There hasn't been any concrete news surrounding his return, but manager Aaron Boone believes he'll undergo his rehab assignment soon.

Superstar Aaron Judge returned from the IL this month and went nuclear at the plate. He hit seven home runs in seven days last week.

Things are starting to click for this team with the return of some key players. This team could be dangerous if they don't have any more injury setbacks.
