Monday's rainout shuffled the pitching strategy for both teams in Game 5 of their American League Division Series. While Jameson Taillon was supposed to start on Monday, the New York Yankees will send out Nestor Cortes on short rest to face Aaron Civale of the Cleveland Guardians.
Cleveland has reinforcements, with Shane Bieber on normal rest and available to pitch if necessary. Like much of the first few games of the series, the decisive Game 5 could be determined by who scores first, especially with the bullpens of both teams pitching well through the first four games.
