Jimmy Cordero To Serve As Opener Against Blue Jays

The New York Yankees announced that right-hander Jimmy Cordero will serve as the opener for Monday's contest against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Brett Baty Sitting Against Lefty Monday

New York Mets third baseman Brett Baty is not in the lineup on Monday against left-hander Patrick Corbin and the Washington Nationals.
