What happened: The Yankees bring a healthy starting rotation into Friday's scheduled postseason game. New York carries a 2-0 series lead into a matchup that remains set at 0-0.

Why it matters: Rotation stability matters in October because it lets a club stay on plan instead of patching together innings. With New York already up 2-0, that health picture keeps the Yankees in position to lean on the same strength again.

What to watch: Watch whether New York keeps the same rotation setup through first pitch. Any late change would alter the pregame case built around the Yankees' starters.
