The Yankees could promote Triple-A pitcher Allan Winans to join the big-league rotation soon, especially after designating former Cleveland Guardians veteran Carlos Carrasco for assignment earlier this week.

The New York Mets and New York Yankees are set to begin one of the most anticipated series on the 2025 MLB regular season schedule. While the Subway Series always brings intrigue, this year has a new element because of superstar outfielder Juan Soto.
