The Milwaukee Brewers are looking to bounce back from a disappointing start to their season as they face the New York Yankees in the final game of their season-opening series at Yankee Stadium. Right-hander Aaron Civale will aim to contain a powerful Yankees lineup that produced significant runs in their previous matchup. First pitch is scheduled for 12:35 p.m., and fans can catch the action on the FanDuel Sports Network or stream it via the FanDuel Sports Wisconsin app.

While Civale takes the mound for the Brewers, he will be opposed by Yankees' ace Marcus Stroman. The Brewers are eager to avoid a sweep and will feature a lineup with key players like Christian Yelich and William Contreras. Following this game, the Brewers will play seven home games, starting with a matchup against the Kansas City Royals. Keeping up momentum and making necessary adjustments will be crucial for the Brewers as they look to establish themselves early in the season.

The New York Yankees' pitching depth, once a celebrated asset, is now a growing concern with key injuries threatening their rotation. Notably, last season's AL Rookie of the Year, Luis Gil, is sidelined until late May or June due to a lat strain. Compounding the issue, ace Gerrit Cole is facing Tommy John surgery, which will keep him out through the 2025 season. This leaves the Yankees with a rotation featuring Max Fried, Carlos Rodón, Marcus Stroman, Clarke Schmidt, and Will Warren, the latter of whom is a top prospect stepping up to fill the void.

The offseason addition of Fried was a smart move, given his potential when healthy, but with the absence of Cole and Gil, the Yankees may need to seek additional help, whether through free agency or trades. Surprisingly, the free-agent market is nearly bare, with only veteran pitchers like Kyle Gibson and Lance Lynn available. The trade market, however, holds more promise with potential targets like Dylan Cease and Sandy Alcantara raising eyebrows for their performance metrics and possible availability as teams look to cut costs or rebuild.

Marcus Stroman faced a challenging outing in his second spring training start, giving up four runs on four hits, including two home runs, in an 11-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves. The Yankees are dealing with uncertainty surrounding Luis Gil's shoulder injury, making Stroman's performance critical as he seeks a rotation spot. Austin Wells, meanwhile, continues to shine with consistent hitting, while Jasson Dominguez is showing defensive improvement despite ongoing struggles at the plate.

In contrast, Austin Riley was a standout for the Braves, going 2-for-3 with a home run and an RBI double, helping to solidify Atlanta's offensive dominance. The Yankees will look to bounce back in their next game against the Pittsburgh Pirates as Max Fried makes his much-anticipated spring debut.

The New York Yankees entered spring training poised with a strong rotation but now face uncertainty as injuries mount. Luis Gil, the 2024 AL Rookie of the Year, has been sidelined by shoulder tightness, prompting an MRI that could derail his season after missing 2023 due to Tommy John surgery. Meanwhile, J.T. Brubaker's diagnosis of fractured ribs adds to the Yankees' pitching woes, leaving them to consider inexperienced options like Will Warren or veteran Carlos Carrasco. The Yankees' starting five was initially set with Gerrit Cole and Max Fried, but Gil's potential absence may open new opportunities for Marcus Stroman, who previously was not part of the rotation. As the season approaches, the team's depth will be tested significantly.
