Yankees turn focus toward October as Aaron Judge sits in loss to Pirates

A day after the Yankees clinched the AL East title, they turned their focus to the postseason.

Aaron Judge wasn’t in the lineup Friday despite having homered in five straight games and having 58 on the season.

With the ALDS not set to begin until Oct. 5, the Yankees have plenty of time to rest and set up their roster.Besides Gerrit Cole starting Game 1, Boone said Friday’s starter, Carlos Rodon, likely would start either in Game 2 or 3, perhaps depending on who the Yankees end up playing.

Boone said the team would be off Monday, then have different workouts Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday before a final workout Friday. Boone said Berti, who missed much of the season with a calf injury, likely would play Saturday and Sunday as he prepares for a playoff role.
