The Toronto Blue Jays and the New York Yankees are set for Game 2 of their American League Divisional Series at Rogers Centre, on Sunday.

Toronto won Game 1, 10-1, in their 2025 postseason debut. The Yankees are desperate to make sure the series is even when the two teams go to Yankee Stadium on Tuesday. Meanwhile, a win on Sunday puts the Blue Jays in control of the series at 2-0, with just one more win needed to advance to the AL Championship Series.

Both teams set their starting lineups before Sunday’s game.

DH George Springer

C Alejandro Kirk

CF Daulton Varsho

3B Ernie Clement

2B Isiah Kiner-Falefa

SS Andres Gimenez

RF Myles Straw

With left-hander Max Fried on the mound for the Yankees, the Blue Jays are flipping out the left-handed hitters they used in Saturday’s win — right fielder Nathan Lukes, third baseman Addison Barger and left fielder Anthony Santander, the last of which is a switch-hitter. The trio combined for four hits in the victory.

Blue Jays starter: RHP Trey Yesavage (1-0, 3.21 in regular season)

This is the rookie’s postseason debut, and he’ll face a potent Yankees lineup that has not faced him in person and is smarting from their awful Game 1 at the plate.

The Yankees will use the same lineup from Game 1 against Yesavage. New York managed six hits off the Blue Jays on Saturday, with Volpe scoring the only run.

Yankees starter: LHP Max Fried (0-0, 0.00 in postseason)

The postseason is nothing new to Fried. He went to the playoffs seven straight seasons as part of Atlanta’s pitching staff and won a World Series ring in 2021. Sunday will be his 14th postseason start. He is 2-5 with a 4.66 ERA in 21 total postseason games. He has 72 strikeouts in 73.1 innings.
