Yarbrough (1-0, 3.70) will be available to pitch against the Mets in relief, his role until two weeks ago. The lefty moved into the rotation as a replacment for struggling right-hander Carlos Carrasco, who was outrighted to Triple-A after being designated for assignment and clearing waivers.

Expect the same stoic Juan Soto when he emerges in front of Judge's chambers in right field as a member of the Mets on Friday at Yankee Stadium.

Carlos Mendoza never really convinced Juan Soto he could benefit from a rest on Wednesday. But the Mets manager still decided to sit his star.
