The Yankees haven\u2019t had many losses on the young season, but you could argue that Wednesday\u2019s was the most frustrating so far. After starting the game with a couple hits and a couple runs in the first innings, they proceeded to not do much for the rest of the game. That allowed the Athletics to come back and eventually take the lead for good.<\/p>\n
Thanks to that, the Yankees will now have to win Thursday\u2019s matinee to avoid their first series loss of the season.<\/p>\n

For this afternoon\u2019s finale, the Yankees will send Ryan Weathers to the hill. While his regular season debut when well enough, Weathers struggled in his last time out, looking more like the pitcher we saw struggle in spring training. We\u2019ll see if he can right the ship today.<\/p>\n
With a lefty on the mound, the Yankees are giving starts not only at Amed Rosario but to Randal Grichuk, who has received just two at-bats thus far. Jazz Chisholm Jr. and Trent Grisham are the ones getting days off, with the lineup fairly normal besides that. It is worth noting that Ben Rice is starting against a lefty, affirming the Yankees\u2019 commitment to him as very much the primary first baseman, with only occasional looks from Paul Goldschmidt behind him.<\/p>\n
Said lefty for the A\u2019s is Jeffrey Springs. The Yankees have seen Springs a decent amount over the years, back in his days with the Red Sox and Rays, and he has a career 2.03 ERA against the Bombers. He mostly stymied the Blue Jays\u2019 and Astros\u2019 lineups during his first two times out in 2026 and had a 105 ERA+ in 171 innings last year, so he could be a challenge.<\/p>\n
We hope that you\u2019ll come join us in the game thread for this afternoon\u2019s action!<\/p>\n
