Austin Wells

The winner won't have to make a special trip to pick up his hardware, since both Judge and Ohtani will be in attendance, of course. We imagine Judge will be the pick here, but we'll see. Other so-called "finalists" for the awards are Judge, Witt and Jose Ramirez for AL Outstanding Player; Ohtani, Francisco Lindor and Marcell Ozuna for NL Outstanding Player; Emmanuel Clase, Logan Gilbert and Tarik Skubal for AL Outstanding Pitcher; Chris Sale, Paul Skenes and Zack Wheeler for NL Outstanding Pitcher; Wilyer Abreu, Colton Cowser and Austin Wells for AL Outstanding Rookie and Jackson Chourio, Jackson Merrill and Skenes for NL Outstanding Rookie.

Flip-flopping Stanton and Jazz Chisholm Jr. is the only change the Yankees have made from Game 4. The lineup: 2B Gleyber Torres, RF Juan Soto, CF Aaron Judge, DH Stanton, 3B Chisholm, 1B Anthony Rizzo, SS Anthony Volpe, C Austin Wells, LF Alex Verdugo.

Wells and Rizzo started Game 3 on the bench with left-hander Matthew Boyd getting the start for Cleveland. Both entered Game 3 later on as pinch hitters. Jose Trevino didn't exactly cover himself in glory in his first postseason start behind the dish so the decision to go back to Wells was an easy call. The lineup: 2B Gleyber Torres, RF Juan Soto, CF Aaron Judge, 3B Jazz Chisholm Jr., DH Giancarlo Stanton, 1B Anthony Rizzo, SS Anthony Volpe, C Austin Wells, LF Alex Verdugo.

Jon Berti and Jose Trevino will start Thursday evening

It'll be the first action for Trevino since the final day of the regular season. Berti is making his third start of the postseason but first since Rizzo was activated for the ALCS. The lineup: 2B Gleyber Torres, RF Juan Soto, CF Aaron Judge, DH Giancarlo Stanton, 3B Jazz Chisholm Jr., 1B Berti, SS Anthony Volpe, LF Alex Verdugo, C Trevino.
