Opening Day is finally here and the Yankees will look to start the 2024 season on the right foot when they take on the Houston Astros.

But who will be on the Yankees' 26-man roster to start the season? The projected roster has changed quite a bit thanks to injuries to Gerrit Cole and DJ LeMahieu -- as well as Oswald Peraza -- but manager Aaron Boone will ride with the best players to come out of spring training as well as a last-minute addition to bolster the bench depth.

Without further ado, here's the complete Yankees Opening Day roster for the 2024 season...

The Starters

Gleyber Torres
Juan Soto
Aaron Judge
Anthony Rizzo
Giancarlo Stanton
Alex Verdugo
Jose Trevino
Jon Berti
Anthony Volpe

The everyday starters are largely intact with LeMahieu being the only omission after his foot injury has put him on the IL to start the season.

Berti was acquired from the Miami Marlins in a three-team trade on Wednesday and will likely be the third baseman while LeMahieu is on the shelf.

The Bench

Trent Grisham
Oswaldo Cabrera
Austin Wells
Jahmai Jones

There was a time before Opening Day when the Yankees were considering carrying three catchers but the Berti trade sent Ben Rortvedt to the Tampa Bay Rays. That leaves Wells as the only catcher to back up Trevino.

Cabrera will be Rizzo's backup first baseman while also being a viable outfielder if needed.
