Yankees Ready to Take on Astros in Opening Day with Injury-Riddled Roster, but New Acquisitions and Spring Training Talent Lead the Way to Success

The New York Yankees are preparing for the start of their 2024 season, with Opening Day set against the Houston Astros. Due to injuries to key players such as Gerrit Cole, DJ LeMahieu and Osvald Peraza, the projected 26-man roster has undergone some changes. Manager Aaron Boone will rely on top talent from spring training and recent acquisitions to fill out the bullpen.

In the starting lineup, LeMahieu will be out due to a foot injury and Berti will step in at third base following a trade from the Miami Marlins. Everyday appetizers remain mostly untouched.

On the bench, Wells will serve as the backup catcher behind Trevino, with Cabrera ready to play first base and fill in as an outfielder if needed. Rortvedt was traded to the Tampa Bay Rays, leaving Wells as the only backup catcher.

In the rotation, Gill will be filling in for Cole as the fifth starter. Cortes will take the mound on Opening Day, hoping for a strong performance alongside Rodon. The success of the rotation will determine Gill’s future with the team.

Weaver will start the season in the bullpen and Gill will join the starting rotation. The Yankees are optimistic about their chances of success with a revamped lineup and a strong pitching staff.
