If the Yankees had been harboring a great deal of anticipation about their most significant series in three years — a four-game visit from the Toronto Blue Jays with first place at stake — then what’s waiting another 24 hours?
Rain washed out the opener, and the game will be made up as part of a single-admission doubleheader Saturday, with the second game following the conclusion of the regularly scheduled 1:05 p.m. start.
Manager Joe Girardi considered the rainout a mixed bag. It might benefit a number of position players who have been banged up or struggling.
