The New York Yankees don't yet know their opponent for the American League Division Series, but they do know who will be taking the mound at the start of it.
Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reported Wednesday that the Yankees will give the ball to ace Gerrit Cole for Game 1 against either the Baltimore Orioles or Kansas City Royals. He will be followed by Carlos Rodón in Game 2 and either Luis Gil or Clarke Schmidt in Game 3.
Pitching coach Matt Blake said the Yankees could turn to Schmidt out of the bullpen for either Game 1 or 2.
