Toronto Blue Jays probable pitchers & starting lineups vs. New York Yankees, September 19

After a much-needed day off on Monday, the Toronto Blue Jays are preparing to jump back into the most important stretch of games this season (so far). Up next on the agenda for the 83-67 Jays are the division rival New York Yankees, who currently are fourth in the AL East and are just six games out of a Wild Card spot. Knock on wood, but this series (and the upcoming TOR vs. NYY one as well) has the ability to seriously alter the AL Wild Card picture.

Probable starting pitchers

• Yusei Kikuchi will take the mound in Tuesday's contest, making his 30th start of the season. The left-hander has been such a massive asset for the Blue Jays this year, as evidenced by his sub-4.00 ERA and 111 ERA+ (both are easily career bests for him). All told, the 32-year-old is 9-6 with a 3.81 ERA and 4.29 FIP through just under 154 innings of work.

• The Yankees will send right-hander Clarke Schmidt to the mound to make his 31st appearance and 30th start of the year. Schmidt, 27, has parts of four big league seasons under his belt but was not able to lock down a spot in the starting rotation until 2023. So far, he is 9-8 with a 4.56 ERA, 4.23 FIP and 96 ERA+.
