Gerrit Cole set to pitch for Yankees against Blue Jays

The New York Yankees are scheduled to face the Toronto Blue Jays in an American League East rivalry game at Rogers Centre. The matchup will be broadcast exclusively via Apple TV, as the game is not available on traditional cable channels.

Yankees pitcher Gerrit Cole is expected to start the game with a 6-5 record and a 3.35 ERA. Cole has demonstrated a shift in pitching style during the 2026 season, relying more on a high called strike percentage and pitch movement rather than aggressive high-zone fastballs. Despite a lower whiff rate, his ERA+ remains consistent with his career norms.

The Yankees enter the series with a 68-53 record and a playoff position, while the Blue Jays hold a 59-64 record.
