Who is starting for the Yankees?

RHP Luis Severino will make his long-awaited season debut Monday. The two-time All-Star missed nearly the entire season after being diagnosed with rotator cuff inflammation in his throwing shoulder back in March, before suffering a Grade 2 lat strain in April. He has a career 41-25 record with a 3.51 ERA and 572 strike outs. The third-place finalist for the 2017 Cy Young Award rehabbed with Double-A Trenton and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre before returning for Tuesday night's game.

Who is starting for the Blue Jays?

LHP Jose Suarez (2-6, 6.94 ERA) is looking for just his second win of the second half and his first of the month, with his last win coming in a 5-3 victory over the Rays on June 15. In his last time out, he allowed six earned runs on four hits and two walks in three innings pitched, in an 8-0 loss to the Indians last week. The rookie pitcher will be facing the Yankees for the first time in his career.

Upcoming schedule

The Yankees will continue their final homestand of the regular season Tuesday for what will be one of LHP CC Sabathia's (5-8, 4.95 ERA) final outings -- perhaps his last start -- at Yankee Stadium. LHP Dillion Peters (3-3, 4.83 ERA) will be on the mound for the Angels. First pitch is set for 6:35 p.m.
