The New York Yankees are "starting to make calls" as the team searches for a third baseman prior to the July 31 trade deadline, according to Jon Heyman of the New York Post.

The New York Yankees have hit a rough spot in the season. They have lost sole possession of the American League East lead, and their infield flaws are becoming more evident.

The Yankees cannot stop George Springer and the Blue Jays, James Wood goes 5-for-5, Bobby Witt Jr. performs magic on the basepaths and more from Thursday's MLB action.

George Springer hit two two-run home runs and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the New York Yankees 8-5 on Thursday night to complete a four-game sweep and take sole possession of the AL East lead. Addison Barger had a solo homer among his three hits for Toronto.
