Soto -- has "inflammation" in forearm and no structural damage to elbow ----- for now.
Grisham gets 2nd straight start in CF.
Verdugo bats 2nd
Yankee lineup is definitely shorter!!
While this series is being billed as a possible prelude to the WS, no way the Yanks get to WS and have Poteet in the rotation.

Game on YES and Apple TV+
Apple is allowing game to be shown on both home stations tonight. Thanks!
NEXT UP: Saturday, June 8th, 7pm, vs Dodgers
So many moves I don't get tonight.
RIzzo? Batting .229. WHY?????
SOTO rather than Stanton?
Verdugo, Judge, & Stanton.. with Volpe on 2nd.
Teascor continues to be a Yankees killer.
But Grisham couldn't lay one down, but he can do an attempt rather easily for a hit? He couldn't even hold the bat right.
