And while the early returns have largely been discouraging, manager Aaron Boone said he still believes the group is becoming a strength when it matters most down the home stretch and into October.

“I still feel very good about it,” Boone said Thursday before opening a four-game series against the White Sox. “I feel like a lot of guys are in a pretty good place right now. I feel like a couple guys are starting to maybe turn the corner too. Obviously, getting [Fernando] Cruz back in the last couple days is another big thing for us. More healthy guys on the way. I still feel like it has a chance to be really good.”

David Bednar, who has pitched the best of the three trade deadline additions (along with Camilo Doval and the since-demoted Jake Bird), and Luke Weaver have mostly solidified the back end. But getting there remains a work in progress.
