Opening Day 2026 kicks off with Yankees-Giants as rosters buzz and big extensions loom

Opening Day 2026 launches with a Yankees-at-Giants matchup (Logan Webb vs. Max Fried) while the Yankees start Jose Caballero at short due to Anthony Volpe’s injury and the Giants feature new adds Luis Arraez, Harrison Bader, and Rafael Devers. Across MLB, teams are finalizing rosters, signing opt-outs, and making 40-man moves ahead of today’s games. The extension season remains active, led by the Cubs’ six-year, $115 million deal with Pete Crow-Armstrong, with other players and executives also signing or negotiating as spring progresses.
