After dropping back-to-back games to the Rays, New York turns to Carlos Rodón to steady the rotation. The Padres come in with momentum and feature two potential trade deadline targets in Dylan Cease and Michael King — both familiar faces to Yankees fans. Aaron Judge, meanwhile, has a chance to set a new personal hitting streak record and extend one of the most impressive on-base runs in baseball this season.
