We’re hours from the start of the ALCS between New York and Houston, and the Yankees have released the 26-man roster that will take on the Astros. Here’s the group who will aim to capture New York’s first pennant since 2009:
Catchers: Jose Trevino, Kyle Higashioka (2)
Infielders: Anthony Rizzo, Gleyber Torres, Isiah Kiner-Falefa, Oswald Peraza, Josh Donaldson (5)
Outfielders: Oswaldo Cabrera, Harrison Bader, Aaron Judge, Tim Locastro (4)
Designated Hitters: Giancarlo Stanton, Matt Carpenter (2)
Starting rotation: Gerrit Cole, Nestor Cortes, Luis Severino, Jameson Taillon (4)
Bullpen: Jonathan Loáisiga, Lou Trivino, Clay Holmes, Wandy Peralta, Greg Weissert, Miguel Castro, Frankie Montas, Clarke Schmidt, Domingo Germán (9)
With Aaron Hicks going down with a knee injury in Game 5 of the ALDS, the Yankees were always going to have at least one roster spot to fill.
