Welcome to the big leagues, Chance Adams. Now go pitch in Fenway Park in a nationally televised game against a juggernaut lineup in what is probably the Yankees’ most important game of the season. A win today and there’s still some hope for the AL East title. Another loss and it’s probably time to start focusing on a wildcard spot.
As best I can tell, Adams will be the first player to make his MLB debut with the Yankees as a starter in Boston since Randy Keisler in September 2000. He’s the first to do it outside expanded rosters since Bob Meyer in April 1964.
