NEW YORK -- As expected, the New York Yankees on Wednesday named Carlos Rodon their starting pitcher for Monday's Game 2 of the American League Division Series against either the Kansas City Royals or Baltimore Orioles. Their Game 3 starter, however, remains undecided, pitching coach Matt Blake said in a video call with reporters.

The choices for Game 3, which is scheduled for next Wednesday, are Luis Gil and Clarke Schmidt. Blake said the club could choose between the two pitchers before the series starts Saturday, but the decision will "likely" be made after Game 1 to give the Yankees the option to use either pitcher out of the bullpen.
