NEW YORK (AP) — After fans waited through a 2 1/2-hour rain delay, Major League Baseball postponed the decisive Game 5 of the AL Division Series between Cleveland and New York — and the Yankees announced Nestor Cortes will start on short rest Tuesday against the Guardians.
Cleveland was expected to stay with Aaron Civale for the game, which was rescheduled for 4:07 p.m.
Neither manager spoke with media after Monday night's rainout, and Yankees spokesman Jason Zillo said Aaron Boone had texted him with the change to Cortes in place of Jameson Taillon.
The game was scheduled to start at 7:07 p.
