The New York Yankees are set to face the Tampa Bay Rays in the ALDS, with Game 1 taking place on Saturday at Tropicana Field.
The Yankees answered one lingering question by naming Gerrit Cole as the starter for Game 1, but another massive question is whether or not Aaron Judge will be on the roster.
Judge was kept off the wild-card roster because he was working his way back from injury, but there was hope that he would return for this round.
