- Yankees catcher Austin Wells missed his fourth consecutive start on Wednesday due to a blood flow problem affecting his left index finger.
- Wells underwent invasive testing for the issue and passed all exams with no serious diagnosis, but his absence has created uncertainty amid a competitive AL East race.
- Manager Aaron Boone expressed confidence Wells would return soon, stating, "Wellsy is good to go," and that he would be available tonight and start Thursday's game.

- Wells' temporary absence has elevated Ben Rice as the starting catcher, and the team faces pressure to maintain control in the division while managing roster availability.
