Yankees manager Aaron Boone held a news conference ahead of ALDS Game 1 on Friday in the Bronx. Boone announced the team's rotation for the first three games of the series, with James Paxton set to start Game 1 before Masahiro Tanaka and Luis Severino take the mound in Games 2 and 3, respectively.

CC Sabathia will be left off the team's ALDS roster due to injury, according to Boone.
