The New York Yankees are poised to take on the St. Louis Cardinals in a doubleheader on Saturday. Following Friday night’s unfortunate rainout, the Yankees will be deploying Luis Severino for Game 1, with a bullpen game scheduled for the evening contest.
A doubleheader allows the team to expand its active roster with a 27th player, providing some much-needed reinforcement to mitigate fatigue. In response, the Yankees have promoted left-handed pitcher Matt Krook, whose performance with the Triple-A Scranton this season has been impressive.
