Unexpected player leads Yankees to victory over Mariners.

Jhony Brito, a Yankees' not-ready-for-prime-time hurler, surprisingly out-pitched Luis Castillo, the industry's most sought-after starter, in a 4-2 victory against the Mariners. The Yankees' second-tier hitters, including Jake Bauers, Billy McKinney, and Willie Calhoun, carried the offense, providing the team with the therapy they needed after a disastrous sweep at Fenway. The victory ensured the Yankees their first series victory since Aaron Judge went on the IL, but the team will need this second layer of manpower to make it to October, at least until Giancarlo Stanton, DJ LeMahieu, and Josh Donaldson crack the code on their collective slumps.

"Blue Jays Sweep Braves and Yankees in Impressive Week"

The New York Yankees used reliever Jimmy Cordero as an opener before turning to starter-turned-bulk reliever Jhony Brito, who pitched five shutout innings against the Toronto Blue Jays. The Yankees' strategy was due to Brito's struggles against right-handed hitters, with Cordero holding righties to a .171/.256/.257 slash line. Manager Aaron Boone was ejected in the eighth inning after arguing a low called strike on Aaron Judge with home plate umpire Clint Vondrak. Harrison Bader and DJ LeMahieu were out of the starting lineup, but both were fine physically.

The Yankees opted to use Jimmy Cordero as an opener against the Blue Jays on Monday, with Jhony Brito taking over after an inning or two. Cordero was chosen due to his success against right-handed batters, while Brito has struggled against them this season. Brito understood the decision and may soon be replaced by Luis Severino, who is on a rehab assignment. Carlos Rodon played catch for the third day in a row, and Tommy Kahnle will begin his rehab assignment on Thursday.

Jhony Brito had been scheduled to start, but it's likely he will pitch the bulk of the innings. The move may be due to the Blue Jays' tough right-handed batters, with Cordero having success against righties this season. Brito has struggled in his last six outings and may be sent to Triple-A soon. The Yankees last used an opener in August 2021.

Blue Jays make unexpected move for Yankees series opener.

The New York Yankees will use an opener for the first time since August 11, 2021, with reliever Jimmy Cordero making the first start of his big-league career against the Blue Jays. Cordero has been impressive in his first season pitching out of the Yankees' bullpen, posting a 2.81 ERA with 17 strikeouts in 16 innings. Jhony Brito, who was originally scheduled to start, may still pitch in relief. The struggling Brito could be demoted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make room for Luis Severino's return from the injured list.

Brito shines as Yankees fall to Orioles in home opener.

Jhony Brito, making his second career start, allowed only one run in five innings, surrendering three hits and two walks, and now has a 0.90 ERA. Brito is making a case to remain in the Yankees rotation after injuries to Carlos Rodon, Luis Severino, and Frankie Montas created a need. The Yankees' defense was excellent behind Brito, who struck out two, and he fought back to win a 10-pitch at-bat with maybe his best changeup of the night for the strikeout.

Jhony Brito delivers another solid performance for the Yankees, throwing five innings and allowing only one run against the Orioles. His changeup was once again the highlight of his start.
