The Yankees will cary 14 pitchers, as in comparison with the 13 that they had throughout the Wild Card Sequence in Cleveland. The Yankees have added right-hander Michael King whereas dropping catcher Erik Kratz.

Kratz has not had a plate look since Sept. 16, and had not had one since Sept. 4.

King, in the meantime, has struggled in his final two outings, combining for eight earned runs in simply 4.2 innings (15.43 ERA).
