“The competitor” in Ryan Weathers did not want to throw live batting practice Monday night at Yankee Stadium because he knew it would mean not being on the roster for the AL wild-card series.
asserted
it → want → series
Four days later, though, the left-hander was glad he did, because after with the Yankees advanced to in the ALDS, Weathers has a strong chance not only to join the roster but also to pitch more often now that he is slightly more built up after coming back from a left forearm flexor strain late in the regular season.
asserted
he → do → season

he → get → Games
“Hopefully I can be available for a few games of this series,” he said.
asserted
he → say → series
Boone indicated the Yankees were debating carrying 10, 11 or 12 pitchers.
asserted
Yankees → indicate → pitchers
That could mean Weathers becoming the 11th pitcher or potentially replacing another lefty in Ryan Yarbrough, though Yarbrough’s length could be valuable, especially with Carlos Rodón no longer expected to be an option out of the bullpen now that he is set to start Game 3 or 4.
uncertain
he → mean → Game
The Yankees had a travel snafu getting here during Thursday’s off day, which Boone categorized as “first-world problems.”

But because of a hydraulics issue, according to Boone, they were delayed and then had to get off the plane around 8 p.m. to drive to LaGuardia Airport, where they boarded another charter and did not get to their hotel until around 1 a.m.
uncertain
they → accord → a.m.
“We drove further away from Tampa and then worked our way closer back to Tampa, and then we flew to Tampa,” said Game 1 starter Gerrit Cole, adding that they killed time with “cards, conversations, ribbing each other, video games, doom scrolling.”
asserted
they → drive → scrolling
“It was a cluster,” Weathers added with a laugh.
asserted
Weathers → add → laugh
The Rays are declining to reveal their rotation beyond Drew Rasmussen starting Game 1 on Saturday.

asserted
options → follow → Peralta
