Yankees’ Aaron Boone Considering Lineup Changes for Game 3 vs. Rays
Max Fried gets the ball as New York tries to avoid elimination, and Carlos Rodón would follow in Game 4 if the series continues.
- On Wednesday, the New York Yankees face elimination in Game 3 of the American League Division Series at Yankee Stadium, turning to left-handed starter Max Fried to keep their season alive against the Tampa Bay Rays.
- The Yankees return home trailing 0-2 in the best-of-five series after two deflating losses in St. Petersburg, Fla., where they committed four errors and managed only two runs on a pair of Ben Rice solo home runs.
- Despite his partner expecting a child, Fried confirmed he will "definitely" start, viewing the high-stakes matchup as motivation to prove the team's recent performance "doesn't define you" and that they remain capable of winning.
- Manager Aaron Boone is considering lineup adjustments to spark the "lifeless" offense, potentially inserting Anthony Volpe or Jose Caballero to replace struggling infielders Ryan McMahon and Jazz Chisholm Jr. after their 0-for-9 start.
- If the series extends, Carlos Rodon is slated to start Game 4 on Thursday, as the club attempts to become the 11th team in MLB history to overcome a 0-2 deficit in a best-of-five playoff series.
