KANSAS CITY — With Aaron Judge resting for the first time this season, the Yankees’ season finale against the Royals on Thursday night was moving along quickly with no one scoring through five innings. Then it started raining while the Yankees mounted a sixth-inning rally and the game was stopped at 7:59 p.m., Central time.

Here's what you need to know on how to watch tonight's Yankees vs. Royals contest from Kansas City on Prime Video: First pitch for this American League playoff rematch is set to start at 7:05 p.m. from Kauffman Stadium.

The Yankees’ injured ace announced he’ll join the YES Network broadcast team for Tuesday night’s game against the Angels in Anaheim. Cole, recovering from Tommy John surgery and out for the season, told YES’ Jack Curry he’s looking forward to the opportunity.

The Yankees’ choice for a call-up was sidewinder righty Scott Effross, who has pitched to a 12.71 ERA in five outings with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after starting the season on the injured list with a hamstring strain.

The injury bug continued to bite the New York Yankees on Thursday, as an infielder who missed the whole month of May was held out of the lineup again.

Tuesday night's injury also came right after a collision with Ryals third baseman Maikel Garcia, who Chisholm had words with. He reportedly told third base coach Luis Rojas he would slap Garcia, in much more colorful words. The two had a stare down at third before he exited Wednesday night.

The Yankees had no update on injured reliever Jack Cousins, who now is dealing with an UCL injury. The Yankees haven’t announced how serious this issue is, but it could be season ending. Chisholm first felt discomfort in his groin while he was running from first to third in the fifth inning of the Yankees’ 6-3 win on Wednesday.

The 32-year-old pitcher, a veteran of seven major league games, was cut in spring training and released Tuesday by the Yankees' Triple-A affiliate.
