Summary[edit]

The 2013 New York Yankees season started as their 113th season for their franchise. The Yankees were predicted to finish last in their division, but very early on, it appeared that the injury-devastated Blue Jays would be more likely. The Bronx Bombers hosted their long–time rivals, the Boston Red Sox, on Opening Day but lost with the final score being 8 to 2 in favor of the Red Sox. Their second game of the season was also a defeat to Boston, but veteran pitcher Andy Pettitte succeeded in prevented a season starting sweep by the Red Sox by pitching his first win of the 2013 season winning 4–2. Mariano Rivera would also gain his first save in his retirement tour season.

At the end of April, the Yankees led the AL East division with a record of 16–10. This was also achieved despite the fact Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis Granderson, and Mark Teixeira were on the disabled list for all of April. However, Curtis Granderson and Mark Teixeira would later return in May (Granderson) and Teixeira (June). They later sustained injuries to many other active roster players, and many farm system players made their debuts throughout the first two months of the season. There was even an occasion where more than one pitcher made their MLB debut for the Yankees.

Towards the end of May, the Yankees were awarded with the return of Curtis Granderson from the disabled list (due to an injury received during Spring Training) but lost him do to re-injuring his previously injury arm on a hit-by-pitch. Granderson was placed on the DL once again before May ended. Facing their National League subway rivals, the New York Mets, they did not win any games. In four days, the Yankees played two games at Citi Field and at Yankee Stadium but were swept in the two games they played at each venue. The Yankees finished May with a record of 15–13.

The Yankees entered June losing their second straight series at home against the Red Sox with the same win-loss record in three games as the first time the two rivals met; Yankees winning one of the three games. They followed it strong, defeating the Cleveland Indians at home in a sweep. On June 8th, Andy Pettitte won his 250th career win. Mariano Rivera closed this game out.

The big benefit for the Angels was salary relief, as the Yankees will reportedly assume a surprising $13.9MM of the $42MM owed to Wells for 2013-14, of which they'll pay $11.5MM this year to avoid a luxury tax hit in 2014.
