The Yankees struck back against Toronto yesterday, evening their first series of the year at a game apiece. That means that the first series win of the season is on the line today, and it couldn’t hurt to take an early advantage against a division rival.
The Yankees are sending out Domingo Germán for the weekend finale, marking his first regular season appearance since he was placed on administrative leave and subsequently suspended back in 2019. Germán was one of the best performers in spring, winning out the battle for a starting rotation gig and even advancing up the rotation into this opening series.
