The New York Yankees (19-10) continue their Texas road trip tonight as they take on the Rangers (14-15) in Game 2 of their series at Globe Life Field. Ben Rice (10), Aaron Judge (11), and Jazz Chisholm Jr. (3) each went yard last night to lead the Yankees to a 4-2 win over Jack Leiter and co. Max Fried was brilliant again, allowing just four singles over six shutout innings to earn his fourth win of the season.
Tonight’s contest features a stellar pitching matchup between two arms in different stages of their careers but both dominating early in the 2026 season. The Yankees will start young right-hander Cam Schlittler (3-1, 1.77 ERA), who has allowed one earned run or less in four of his six starts, looking to stifle a Rangers’ offense that is hitting only .216 at home. Texas counters with their veteran ace, Jacob deGrom (2-0, 2.13 ERA), who has pitched like, well, …Jacob deGrom.
Jasson Dominguez has been recalled to the big club as a result of Giancarlo Stanton being placed on the 10-day disabled list due to a right calf strain. Expect Dominguez to start as the Yankees rarely sit youngsters who have been recalled. Aaron Judge’s bat is beginning to heat up. The reigning MVP and favorite to repeat as MVP enters the game on a two-game homer streak.
