Overview
- The team spent its off day on Sunday at George M. Steinbrenner Field instead of Tropicana Field to use full training resources.
- Coaches and hitters used a Trajekt pitching machine to reproduce Peralta’s pitch shapes and velocity to simulate Tropicana Field conditions.
- Aaron Judge resumed running on Sunday and was expected to take live batting practice as he continues rehabbing a right calf strain.
- Carlos Rodón threw a 60‑pitch, four‑inning live batting practice recently and the club has not decided whether he will be used as a starter, a between‑starts session, or bullpen depth.
- New York seeks any edge after a 1-0 loss in Game 1 when Drew Rasmussen nearly no-hit them, and the Tampa workouts could influence lineup choices and bullpen deployment for the rest of the series.
