The New York Yankees are facing crucial roster decisions as they prepare for the postseason. Manager Aaron Boone must decide on starting pitchers for the upcoming Wild Card Series, likely against the Boston Red Sox. Veteran Carlos Rodon, a three-time All-Star, is expected to be left off the roster despite a recent strong performance. His postseason status is complicated by competition for limited spots, particularly from Cam Schlittler and Gerrit Cole. Sources suggest Rodon's recent form may make the decision more challenging for the team.
