Summary

Rice Homers

The New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 8-3 as Ben Rice hit a homer and José Caballero added a three-run blast.
Aaron Boone praised Rice’s swing as ‘next-man-up’ while John Schneider was ejected for arguing a balk and Andrés Giménez was scratched with a sore wrist.
Anthony Volpe added two RBIs with singles while Gerrit Cole will start the game versus White Sox right-hander Davis Martin (9-2, 2.41).

Summary

Warren Struggles

Will Warren allowed eight hits, three walks and one strikeout in 4.2 innings while posting the league’s highest called-third-strike rate.
Toronto batters, third-most aggressive inside the zone, forced Warren to throw 98 pitches in four frames.
Anthony Volpe played shortstop and caught the final line-drive to end the game.
José Caballero said the pitch-clock rules “annoy” him.
The Yankees will rest Monday before hosting the Chicago White Sox Tuesday.

Summary

Corbin Rotation Uncertain

Hitting coach David Popkins urged batters to be “selectively aggressive,” attacking only the half of the plate where pitchers locate pitches.
Patrick Corbin posted a 4.57 ERA in 13 starts and allowed two runs in 3.2 innings on Sunday, leaving his rotation spot undecided.
After Shane Bieber’s five-inning Triple-A rehab outing, Toronto may slot Corbin or Max Scherzer into the rotation, reshaping the lineup for the six-game road trip.
