Jhony Brito to start for the Yankees
The right-handed pitcher, who is 25 years old, will make his Major League Baseball debut. During the previous season, Brito did not throw a single pitch as the money line favorite in any of those games. This year the Yankees were forced to promote him after many of their established pitchers are on the injured list.
Yankees Injured List: Lou Trivino, Harrison Bader, Carlos Rodon, Luis Severino, Frankie Montas, Luis Gil, Scott Effross, Ben Rortvedt, Tommy Kahnle.
