Tampa Bay Rays vs. New York Yankees: How to watch Spring Training, TV channel, streaming, start time

A pair of AL East rivals open their Spring Training schedule against one another as the New York Yankees host the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday.

Ironically, the stadium where this game will be held will be the home field of the Rays in 2025. Winds from Hurricane Milton seriously damaged the Rays' home stadium, Tropicana Field, rendering it unable for use this season.

Marcus Stroman – who appears to be the odd man out of the Yankees' starting rotation entering the season – is slated to start against Joey Krehbiel of the Rays.
