INJURY REPORT
Baltimore Orioles
Gunnar Henderson — day‑to‑day (quad tightness)
John Means — IL (elbow)
Kyle Bradish — IL (forearm)
Tyler Wells — IL (elbow)
Cedric Mullins — day‑to‑day (wrist)
Baltimore’s rotation is thin, and the lineup is missing key speed and defense if Mullins sits.
New York Yankees
Aaron Judge — day‑to‑day (hip soreness)
Carlos Rodón — IL (shoulder)
Jonathan Loáisiga — IL (elbow)
DJ LeMahieu — IL (foot)
Giancarlo Stanton — day‑to‑day (hamstring)
Despite injuries, New York’s depth has carried them.
PROBABLE PITCHING MATCHUP
Baltimore — RHP Dean Kremer (2–2, 4.77 ERA, 1.31 WHIP)
Kremer has been inconsistent. His fastball command has wavered, and he’s struggled vs. right‑handed power hitters — a dangerous profile at Yankee Stadium.
New York — RHP Marcus Stroman (3–1, 3.12 ERA, 1.18 WHIP)
Stroman has been excellent early in 2026. His sinker/slider mix generates ground balls, which plays extremely well in the Bronx.
Pitching Edge: Yankees (Stroman’s consistency + matchup advantage).
