On May 5, 2026, the New York Yankees recalled Elmer Rodríguez to replace Max Fried, who was placed on the injured list, and he started that afternoon’s game instead of Ryan Weathers, who is set to pitch Monday. Gerrit Cole made a successful rehab start in Triple-A, striking out six and allowing one run over 5.1 innings, and he is expected to make one more minor league start before returning to the team. Spencer Jones had a solid performance in the Subway Series opener, contributing two singles and an RBI, while Cam Schlittler continued to impress with a 1.35 ERA, narrowly missing a franchise record for lowest ERA through ten starts.
