The New York Yankees handled the Minnesota Twins with ease, allowing just seven total runs in a three-game sweep that will send them to the ALCS. Either Houston Astros or Tampa Bay Rays will be their next opponent, but the active roster for the postseason could be shuffled around a bit with the return of one starting outfielder.
Brett Gardner has played well the last few weeks, hitting home runs at an unfathomable rate and enjoying consistently solid defensive performances. However, the Yankees could elect to make a decision that would send Gardner to the bench.
