What happened: Spencer Jones was out of the starting lineup Saturday after foot soreness followed a heel jam earlier in the week, while Aaron Judge was headed back to the injured list with a calf injury. Cam Schlittler is also part of the pregame focus as the Yankees wait for a scheduled game to begin.

Why it matters: The Yankees open the day with the series tied 1-1, so any missing bat around Judge or Jones raises the pressure on the rest of the lineup. It also puts more weight on Schlittler to steady New York while the offense adjusts before first pitch.

What to watch: Watch whether Jones returns to the lineup once the game gets underway and how the Yankees Schlittler's outing is the other hinge in a series that starts the day tied 1-1.
