New York will turn to left-hander Ryan Yarbrough for the start this afternoon. The longtime Rays swing man joined the Yankees in the offseason and has mostly worked as a reliever since joining New York. Today will be his second start of the year for the beleaguered starting staff and he’ll be bringing a 3.72 ERA into this afternoon’s matchup.
Let’s go A’s!
