The Baltimore Orioles boast left-handed power in the form of switch hitterMatt Wieters, Chris Davis and Nick Markakis, and loaded up on left-handed pitching by acquiring Joe Saunders and Randy Wolf at the end of August. Their lefty-heavy approach could get a boost by the end of the month, too.
veteran slugger Jim Thome and southpaw reliever Troy Patton are expected back before the season ends, tweets Danny Knobler of CBSSports.com, providing more depth in the bullpen and on the bench for manager Buck Showalter.
These types of late-inning options can change a game, especially with how many key left-handed bats the Yankees employ, such as Curtis Granderson and Robinson Cano.
