HOUSTON -- The New York Yankees made several changes as they announced their 26-man roster for the American League Championship Series against the Houston Astros.
The No. 1-seeded Astros, on the other hand, made only one addition, with both teams going with an even split between pitchers and position players with 13 apiece.
The Yankees chose to include one more pitcher for the best-of-seven ALCS, one less than they had for the Division Series against Cleveland, where they got past the Guardians in five games.
Trade-deadline acquisition Frankie Montas, who has been on the injured list since mid-September after receiving a cortisone shot to treat right shoulder inflammation, was included on the 13-man pitching staff.
