NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees will play their home opener Friday in the Bronx. They face the Toronto Blue Jays at 1:05 p.m.
It's a big day for baseball fans, who should be feeling good about the start of the season. The Yankees opened with a four-game sweep against the Houston Astros, then won two of three games against the defending National League champion Arizona Diamondbacks.
The Yankees will step onto the field with high expectations but also some renewed confidence after making a blockbuster trade over the offseason to acquire slugger Juan Soto.
