The New York Yankees will start a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks tonight. The Yankees have started the 2025 season 3-0 with a sweep of the Milwaukee Brewers. They lead all of baseball in home runs with 35, and they lead in runs scored with 36. They are averaging 12 runs per game. Ahead of tonight’s game, they made the following moves to their roster. They placed closer Devin Williams on the paternity list. Adam Ottavino and the Yankees are in an agreement on a contract. Ottavino was granted his relief by the Boston Red Sox after he was optioned to minor league camp. To make room for Ottavino on the roster, they transferred right-handed pitcher JT Brubaker from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day injured list. He is dealing with left rib fractures.
