New York Yankees vs. Baltimore Orioles: Elmer Rodríguez vs. Shane Baz

We have reached the end of the 2026 regular season. In a couple hours, the 162-game marathon will be complete and full focus will turn to the sprint that is the playoffs. However, we still have nine innings (maybe fewer if the weather has anything to say) of regular season ball today against the Orioles. The game is not of importance to either team really, but someone will add one last digit to their final win total for the season.

Elmer Rodríguez will be the Yankees’ starting pitcher for this one, though they will need a not-yet-announced roster move to activate (probably demoting someone like Alexander Cornielle, who was just brought up yesterday for the doubleheader). The Yankees have mostly used Rodríguez as a spot starter this season, giving a couple chances to the highly rated youngster. He’s had some solid moments, but he’s mostly been below average on the year.

As for Baltimore, Shane Baz will get the start on the mound for them. Baz has a league-leading 15 losses, but he has been right around average for the season with a 4.11 ERA and 3.63 FIP.

Here’s how to catch all of today’s season-ending action, and we hope you’ll come join us in the game thread. New York has already announced that the game will not start on time. There is also not yet a confirmed lineup for the Yankees.
