Jameson Taillon pitches Sunday over Gerrit Cole says Aaron BooneAaron Boone laid out his reasoning for pitching Jameson Taillon on Sunday rather than rolling the dice with Gerrit Cole.
Manuel Margot - On bench for regular-season finaleMargot is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Yankees.
ImpactMargot will close the regular season on the bench after he started each of the past four games while going 3-for-15 with a double, a walk and two runs. During the Rays' upcoming postseason run, he'll likely have a regular spot in the lineup against left-handed starting pitchers, but Margot's opportunities against right-handed pitching may be more sporadic.

Brody Koerner - Added back to 40-man rosterThe Yankees selected Koerner's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Sunday and optioned him to the affiliate.
ImpactThough he won't be joining the Yankees for their regular-season finale Sunday against the Rays, Koerner will rejoin the 40-man roster after a spot opened up with first baseman Luke Voit (knee) moving to the 60-day IL. Before being designated for assignment in late August, Koerner made two appearances out of the big-league bullpen and gave up an earned run on two hits and two walks over three innings.

Luke Voit - Season officially overThe Yankees transferred Voit (knee) from the 10-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
ImpactAfter experiencing inflammation in his left knee, Voit was placed on the IL on Thursday. Though the Yankees viewed his injury as a multi-week issue, Voit initially appeared to have hope of making a potential return in late October or early November if New York enjoyed a deep postseason run, but his move to the 60-day IL now takes that off the table. To fill Voit's spot on the 40-man roster, the Yankees selected the contract of right-handed pitcher Brady Koerner and subsequently optioned him to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
