After one rough loss and one fun win, the Yankees and Rays square off today to see who will take this oh-so-important series. The Rays remain 4.5 games behind the Yankees as they did when the three-game set started — this will decide who gains or loses ground in the division. It will also be the last time they square off in 2022, unless the postseason has other plans.
The Yankees are starting Domingo Germán on short rest, after the rainout on Tuesday threw a wrench into their normal rotation. With three offdays coming off in the next week, Germán might not start again for a bit, so Boone suggested he take another turn today, according to Lindsey Adler of The Athletic.
