Gerrit Cole, who has given up 7 HRs in his last two starts, gives up another one to Corbin Carroll. New York Yankees 5, Via @BNightengale on X

What happened: New York and Arizona had not started, with the score listed at 0-0. Gerrit Cole and Corbin Carroll are the named players tied to the matchup.

Why it matters: The immediate significance is the setup for a scheduled Yankees-Diamondbacks game before any action begins. Cole and Carroll are the clearest focal points attached to the opener.

What to watch: Watch for first pitch and any pregame changes before the Yankees and Diamondbacks get underway.
