It was a bit closer than most would have liked, but the Yankees defeated the Cleveland Guardians in five games to advance to the American League Championship series. The series had some interesting twists and turns, and it will be interesting to see what the Yankees lineup will look like against the Houston Astros. Let’s start with what we know …
The Yankees are starting to get some players back from the injured list, and that is good news. However, it creates some incredibly tough decisions when it comes to the postseason roster.
