The New York Yankees are slated to engage in a doubleheader with the Chicago White Sox on Thursday afternoon. However, due to the deteriorated air quality resulting from wildfires in Canada, additional postponements are likely on the horizon.
Despite the uncertain circumstances, the Yankees have been proactive in making some roster adjustments ahead of the games. Most notably, they have placed Nestor Cortes on the injured list and called up a left-handed bullpen pitcher from Triple-A Scranton.
Cortes was formally diagnosed with a strain in his left rotator cuff, an unfortunate injury that was increasingly challenging to manage between starts.
