Yankees Host the Astros to Open 3-Game Series

Both clubs named their rotations as New York enters the series with a 3.37 team ERA and an unsettled fifth starter.

  • The New York Yankees host the Houston Astros for a three-game series in the Bronx starting Tuesday, trailing the Tampa Bay Rays for the American League's best record at 74-56.
  • RHP Will Warren opposes RHP Ethan Pecko on Tuesday, while RHP Gerrit Cole meets Hayden Wesneski on Thursday, though New York's starting rotation remains incomplete with all five expected starters unable to pitch together.
  • Despite rotation injuries, the Yankees lead MLB with a 3.37 team ERA and 1,030 strikeouts, while the Astros rank fifth in the majors with 173 total home runs, averaging 1.3 per game.
  • Houston enters the series at 65-66 overall with a 32-31 road record, while New York holds a 33-28 home record, positioning the Yankees within striking distance of American League East leaders.
  • Following this series against the Astros, the Yankees will host the Boston Red Sox for a weekend matchup; the outcome could prove critical as Boston sits just 3.0 games behind New York.
