Monday’s Rainout shuffled pitching strategies for both teams in Game 5 their American League Series. While Jameson Taillon is scheduled to start on Monday, New York Yankees will send Nestor Cortes above the rest of the short face to face Aaron Civale afterward Cleveland Defenders.
Cleveland has reinforcements, with Shane Bieber Rest normally and be ready to pitch if necessary. Like most of the first games of the series, the decisive Game 5 can be determined by who scores first, especially since both teams have played well in the first four games.
One notable change for the Yankees is the absence of shortcuts Isiah Kiner-Falefa from the squad. The midfielder is a polarizing player to the Yankees fan base because of past Golden Glove winner’s efforts on the field, culminating in numerous missed opportunities in Game 4, contributing to part of creating the running phase for Cleveland. New York will rely on rookies Oswaldo Cabrerawho has become a super utility man in the past few months of the season.
