Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Tuesday that Max Fried “might not line up” as the team’s Opening Day starter, opening the door for Carlos Rodón, per team reports. (Bryan Hoch)

Aaron Boone said "it might not line up" for Max Fried to be the Opening Day starter "just because of when Gerrit went down and how everyone is slotted." Said "we'll continue to work through this," with an announcement expected in the next few days.

Fantasy Impact:

With Gerrit Cole sidelined by Tommy John and Luis Gil (lat) out, Fried seemed the pick—but his schedule may hold him back, thrusting Rodón, last in action Feb. 27 with no health flags, into the No. 2 spot; a call’s due soon. Fantasy managers can slot Rodón as a top SP; he’s poised to lead off strong.
