NEW YORK (AP) — First baseman Anthony Rizzo is back on the New York Yankees' roster for the AL Championship Series against Cleveland, just over two weeks after fracturing a pair of fingers when hit by a pitch.
Right-hander Marcus Stroman also was added Monday by the Yankees, who dropped first baseman Ben Rice and speedy outfielder Duke Ellis.
Cleveland added right-hander Pedro Avila, giving the Guardians 13 pitchers, and dropped outfielder Angel Martínez.
Stroman was 10-9 with a 4.31 ERA in his first season with the Yankees, making 29 starts and one relief appearance. The 33-year-old slumped to 0-3 with an 8.80 ERA in four September appearances.
Ellis had one pinch-running appearance in the Division Series against Kansas City and Rice didn't get into a game.
Avila, 27, had a 3.25 ERA in 74 2/3 innings over 50 relief appearances for Cleveland, striking out 73 and walking 30.
In his only Division Series appearance, Martínez grounded out as a pinch-hitter in Game 3.
