NEW YORK -- The New York Yankees will no longer have to deal with one of the best one-two punches in the game with Jacob deGrom's start pushed back in favor of Taijuan Walker for Game 2 of the Subway Series in the Bronx on Tuesday.
New York Mets manager Buck Showalter said the move was necessary in order to deal more effectively with the number of injuries that have affected the club's rotation recently. Max Scherzer started the series opener Monday, a 4-2 loss.
DeGrom's next start will be pushed back to either Thursday or Friday.
