The New York Yankees wrapped up their series with the Colorado Rockies on Thursday night and completed a three-game sweep.
Thursday’s victory now leads into Friday’s series opener against the New York Mets at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, which carries a lot of emotion as it’s on the anniversary of the tragic 9/11 terrorist attacks that occurred in New York City back in 2001.

Chisholm Jr. Out With Injury
Chisholm Jr. injured his thumb while sliding into a base Tuesday night against the Rockies, and the Yankees expect him to miss at least 7-10 days without doing any baseball activities.
He’ll likely miss a handful more days as he ramps back up and tests the thumb, which he wore in a splint Thursday during his appearance at the kids-only press conference.
New York is 84-62 overall entering its weekend series with the Mets, and just 16 regular-season games remain before the playoffs.
