Loss column lead back to three. Breathing room? And a new Yankee "Brigadoon."

Three up in the loss column, 23 to play, Magic Number at 20. Six games left v Boston, three v Toronto, three v Baltimore. Four Yanks heading to rehab.

1. Aroldis Chapman... because how can the Yankees be eliminated by a walk-off without him on the mound? ERA: 4.70.

2. Zack Britton... recapping: He's 34. Last year, he appeared in 22 games - ERA: 5.89.

3. Miguel Castro... expected back late Sept. ERA: 4.12. 

4. Harrison Bader... long awaited. Days away from Scranton. He could debut in four-game home series v Boston on Sept. 22. Then comes three at Toronto - currently the hottest team in AL East - perhaps the most crucial series of the year. 

Anthony Rizzo should reappear soon. Jose Trevino will return from diaper duty. DJ LeMahieu - maybe in a week? Dunno.

Andrew Benintendi and Matt Carpenter? Gotta think they are fantasies. With Aaron Hicks in mushroom therapy, LF could belong to - gasp - dare we believe... Miguel Andujar? 

Nah. They'll ditch him, of course. They'll go with Locastro, or Oswaldo, or Tyler Wade - somebody, anybody - is Ryan LaMarre still playing? - rather than Miggy. In fact, I hereby nominate Andujar to replace Rob Refsnyer as the official new Yankee "Brigadoon," named for that ancient village that appears for one day every 100 years - with Gene Kelly and Cyd Charisse! - and then vanishes into Broadway's fossil record. (FYI: Refsnyder has hit .304 this year for Boston, an OPS of .854; also, he's killed us when he gets the chance.) Over the last week, Miggy has been whacking line drives - like old times! - but we know the reality: He'll soon vanish into the Scottish hillside, not to be seen until 2023. If you want to see him, take his picture. 

You can't predict Show Biz, Suzyn. But you can sing along. 

This is for The Master...
