Kirby Yates is also on the 15-Day IL with inflammation but should return soon. For the Yankees, Gerrit Cole remains on the 15-Day IL after surgery while David Bednar will close games when needed.

Aaron Judge remains the Yankees centerpiece after winning three MVPs and leading the league in walks and runs. Jazz Chisholm Jr. adds speed and power, while Cody Bellinger provides power and defense. For the Angels, Zach Neto is a budding star with power and speed after a big season. This matchup will feel loud and fast, with pitchers trying to quiet the big bats and fans cheering every swing.
