CLEVELAND – The Yankees’ final series in a stretch of 20 games in 20 days has been put off a day.
Friday’s game between the Yankees and Guardians at Progressive Field was postponed by rain, setting up a split doubleheader on Saturday with games at 12:10 p.m. and 6:10 p.m.
Gerrit Cole was scheduled to start Friday’s series opener, but he will instead pitch the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader, with Nestor Cortes pitching the nightcap.
After Saturday’s twinbill, the Yankees will wrap up the series on Sunday before having their first real off day on Monday since June 13.
