That was one eventful road trip. During the seven games through Tampa and Boston, the Yankees managed to turn a triple play, lose Ivan Nova to Tommy John surgery, win three blowouts, lose two blowouts, lose Michael Pineda to a ten-game suspension, and make 18 roster moves. Yes, 18.

Thankfully, that is over with the Yankees are back in the Bronx for a nine-game homestand. They’re stuck playing with a 24-man roster for another nine games because of Pineda, but whatever. At least they get to sleep in their own beds. Mike Trout and the Angels are in town for three games this weekend, so we’re going to hear a lot about how they are always tough on the Yankees even though that hasn’t been true for about five years now. Anyway, here is the Angels lineup and here is the Yankees lineup:

  1. CF Jacoby Ellsbury
  2. SS Derek Jeter
  3. RF Carlos Beltran
  4. DH Alfonso Soriano
  5. 1B Mark Teixeira
  6. C Brian McCann
  7. LF Brett Gardner
  8. 2B Brian Roberts
  9. 3B Yangervis Solarte
    RHP Hiroki Kuroda

It is cloudy and chilly in New York this evening, and there is some rain the forecast later tonight. Doesn’t look like it will be a factor unless the game goes to extra innings. First pitch is scheduled for a little after 7pm ET and you can watch the game on YES. Enjoy.

Rotation Update: As expected, Joe Girardi confirmed David Phelps will start against the Mariners on Wednesday in place of Pineda. The timing of that a) lines Pineda up to start the day his suspension expires, and b) gives Kuroda, Masahiro Tanaka, and Vidal Nuno an extra day of rest next week.
