Yankees execute perfect and aggressive ABS challenge night
New York Post • • sports
Key Points:
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone encouraged aggressive use of the automated ball-strike system, with the team successfully challenging 10 of 11 calls through four games, though it did not change the outcome in their 2-1 loss to the Mariners.
- The Yankees challenged multiple pitches in key moments, including consecutive successful challenges in the fourth inning by Ben Rice, Giancarlo Stanton, and Jazz Chisholm Jr., which helped create better offensive opportunities despite overall struggles at the plate.
- Cal Raleigh, who had a slow start this season, pinch-hit and delivered the game-winning walk-off single against the Yankees, renewing the recent MVP rivalry with Aaron Judge from last year’s tight race.
- Pitchers Carlos Rodón and Gerrit Cole are progressing in their recovery and training, with Rodón expected to possibly start a rehab assignment soon and Cole preparing for a live batting practice session as part of his workload management.
- The Yankees announced their minor league rosters ahead of the season start Friday, highlighting notable player assignments across Triple-A, Double-A, High-A, and Single-A affiliates.
