July 31, 2025, New York — Catcher of the Yankees Austin Wells sustained a serious injury in the ninth inning of the game against the Texas Rangers, which raised the possibility of missing the match. After his teammate Antonio Volpe equalized the score, Wells made a solo shot and went to second base. However, after Trent Grisham was hit out at first base, Wells reportedly believed that the inning was over, and he left the base, as a result of which he slipped in the dugout, which became the third out.

Manager of the Yankees Aaron Boone noted that such injuries are not common. He emphasized that the team must be cautious about the quantity of players. Currently for Wells, his teammates in the team managed to equalize the score in the tenth inning and ultimately win the game with a score of 5-4 in the eleventh, thanks to the efforts of Ryan McMahon.

The Yankees remain in fourth place in the division behind the Toronto leaders, although this match was crucial for the team.
