Major League Baseball’s spring training schedule ends on Monday and next Thursday is Opening Day. It’s a time of hope and optimism across the league’s 30-team landscape. This feeling doesn’t last for long for many clubs that will find themselves stuck in the low end of the standings before the midpoint of the summer.
Yankees fans will have to wait until April to see their team play in the Bronx. The squad will be on the road for seven games to begin their 2024 journey in search of the franchise’s first World Series title since 2009, which was also the last time they played in baseball’s premiere event. The Yankees will face the Houston Astros in a four-game series before going to Arizona to meet the defending National League champion Diamondbacks for three games.
The Yankees will be without Gerrit Cole, the reigning Cy Young Award winner, for at least one month after he experienced right elbow discomfort earlier this month, officially diagnosed as nerve inflammation and edema . There is no expected date for Cole’s return.
