The New York Yankees won for just the second time in 11 games on Monday, but they are still not doing very well on the training table.<\/p>\n

The banged-up Yankees will try to produce their first two-game winning streak in two weeks when they meet the Tampa Bay Rays on Tuesday night in St. Petersburg, Fla.<\/p>\n

New York manager Aaron Boone has three starting pitchers sidelined: left-handers Carlos Rodon and Max Fried plus right-hander Luis Gil, with Fried likely the closest to return after a 36-pitch live batting practice session on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Boone said Monday that Giancarlo Stanton (strained right calf) has not resumed running on the field since sustaining a setback in June, adding there is no current timeline for the designated hitter\u2019s return.<\/p>\n

Reigning American League MVP Aaron Judge is expected to miss a few more weeks with a stress fracture of a rib. He hasn\u2019t played since May 31.<\/p>\n

The Yankees won 5-1 on Monday in the series opener behind Jose Caballero\u2019s two homers and four RBIs and an overpowering pitching performance from Cam Schlittler. The right-hander fired eight innings of one-run, four-hit ball, lifting his record to 9-5 and dropping his ERA to 2.01.<\/p>\n

It was the first win by a visiting AL East club this season in St. Petersburg.<\/p>\n

The Yankees also got a solo shot from Ben Rice, as all three of their hits were home runs.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt just felt good to play well,\u201d Boone said. \u201cIt\u2019s still a grind for us offensively, but some long balls were huge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winless in his last five outings, Will Warren (7-3, 3.73 ERA) will start for New York on Tuesday. The right-hander will attempt to post his first victory since the Yankees routed the Athletics 13-8 on May 31.<\/p>\n

In three career starts against the Rays, all last year, the 27-year-old Mississippi native is 0-1 with a 3.65 ERA.<\/p>\n

Now holding a three-game lead over the second-place Yankees in the AL East and riding a three-game losing streak, Tampa Bay saw its hurlers whiff 17 batters on Monday, led by starter Griffin Jax\u2019s career-high-tying 10.<\/p>\n

He walked two batters, both just ahead of allowing Caballero\u2019s first blast, which put Tampa Bay in a 3-0 hole. That was the lone hit Jax yielded in five innings.<\/p>\n

The Rays managed only four hits.<\/p>\n

\u201c(Schlittler) looked very confident,\u201d Tampa Bay manager Kevin Cash said. \u201cHe attacks you with it, and not many pitchers can live on that fastball like he does, but he certainly can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jax retired the first 13 hitters he faced.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought Jax threw the ball incredibly well,\u201d Cash added. \u201cGot to be really pleased with the way his arsenal attacked that Yankees lineup. \u2026 They hit a lot of homers.<\/p>\n

\u201cPleased with the way we pitched. We\u2019ve just got to find a way to keep them in the ballpark.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tampa Bay\u2019s Chandler Simpson dribbled an infield single in the fifth inning, extending his hitting streak to nine games.<\/p>\n

Coming off a strong effort in a 5-2 road victory over the Kansas City Royals on Thursday, Ian Seymour (5-1, 4.02) will get the ball for the Rays on Tuesday. The 27-year-old left-hander has made the transition to the rotation and is heading into his fifth start.<\/p>\n

Seymour won each of his past two starts, permitting a total of one run on three hits and two walks in 12 2\/3 innings. He fanned 15 in those outings, both against Kansas City.<\/p>\n

He is 1-0 with a 7.56 ERA in five career relief outings against the Yankees. Seymour has faced the Yankees three times this year, earning a win and tossing a total of 4 1\/3 innings of one-run ball.<\/p>\n
