Yankees make Wild Card plans for Carlos Rodón, bump Will Warren back
While the Yankees are still trying to win the American League East and win a bye in the playoffs, they also started planning an appearance in the Wild Card Round.
Aaron Boone, whose club went on Tuesday two games back from the Blue Jays for the head of the division and with a three -game advance for the best point of Joker, said that Carlos Rodón would make his last start of the regular season this Thursday on a normal rest. This would allow him to start a potential 2 match 2 in the Wild Card Round with an additional day of rest.
Match 1 of the Wild Card series of the American League, which Max Fried would start for the Yankees, is scheduled for September 30, while match 2 will take place on October 1. Upon entering Tuesday, the Yankees were to welcome the Red Sox in the series.
Rodón has an MPM of 5.74 on three departures and 15.2 rounds against Boston this year, but he appreciated his best season as Yankee, with 17-9 with an MPM of 3.04. Its 25.9 k% classified 17th Among all the starters qualified Tuesday morning.
Rodón also has a 2.67 MPM in his last 13 departures.
With two south pistols, the first two games of the potential appearance of the Yankees Joker, the biggest question of the team revolves around who would start a match to make October 3 on October 2.
The choices are the Ermatic Gil, who has experience in the playoffs after launching in the Alcs and World Series last year, and the Cam Schlittler and Will Warren recruits. Anyone who does not get a rotation could be found in the enclosure of after-season readers.
“I feel good with our five guys,” said Boone Tuesday afternoon with the Yankees who need an evening victory over the White Sox to win an after-season berth. “I feel good in one of them that starts a game, but we will see. As we get closer, while this week takes place, we will start to have a better idea and a better feeling of how we want to put things. ”
Warren was initially aligned to start on Thursday, but he said he was now planning to start on Friday. The right -hander added that the Yankees did not tell him about working at the enclosure of the readers before the end of the regular season, but it was something that he would be comfortable doing in the playoffs.
“I just want to win,” said Warren, who only made one relief appearance. “I am confident wherever I finish.”
Warren fought powerfully against the Red Sox this season, displaying an MPM of 9.42 on 14.1 rounds. It has 8-8 with an MPM of 4.35 on 32 departures.
