Yankees Probable Pitchers

Waguespack will make his third appearance against the Yankees after allowing three runs in 3 2/3 innings in each of his past two. It has been a rough stretch for the righty, who owns a 8.70 ERA over his past four starts and seen his season ERA balloon from 3.63 to 4.70.

Moved from Thursday to Friday, Happ has been cleared to pitch after revealing left biceps tendinitis following his last start. Happ estimated he has been quietly handling the issue for about five starts, during which he's gone 2-1 with a 3.46 ERA.

Zeuch's fourth career outing will be his second against New York after he earned the win while tossing 5 1/3 innings last time out against the Yankees. He'll be looking to limit the walks -- he has allowed eight in 13 2/3 innings.

Paxton has won nine consecutive starts, the longest streak of his career. In his last outing, Paxton limited the Blue Jays to one run on three hits over five innings at Rogers Centre. He is 1-0 with a 6.43 ERA in three starts vs. Toronto this year.

Thornton will look to keep one of the best stretches of his rookie campaign going in the Big Apple. The righty -- who pitched behind an opener in his last outing -- has allowed just four runs (two earned) and seven hits over his past three outings, a span of 14 2/3 innings.

Severino appeared sharp in his first start of the year, tossing four scoreless innings against the Angels on Tuesday. He scattered two hits while walking two and striking out four in a 67-pitch effort.

After Montgomery opens, CC Sabathia is set to make the first regular-season relief appearance of his career.

Chirinos will be making his first start since Aug. 4. The right-hander returned from the injured list on Saturday and allowed one run and struck out two in one inning of work against the Red Sox.
