The Toronto Blue Jays are in town to face the Yankees for a three-game series. After losing two of three to the Seattle Mariners, New York looks to rebound with Hiroki Kuroda on the mound tonight. Last night, Andy Pettitte and Chris Stewart both left the game with injuries. The team isn’t too concerned with Pettitte’s back, and the results on Stewart’s MRI came back negative; he will rest for a few days and can be used as an emergency catcher, according to Sweeny Murti of WFAN. Austin Romine will start in his place. Here are tonight’s lineups:
