The 2026 Yankees have their sights set on their 28th World Series title, but the team looks a lot like the 2025 version that went 94-68 in the regular season last year and ultimately lost to the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League Division Series.
Among the 26 active players from the AL Division Series roster, all are back except for a pair of relievers who left as free agents to sign with the Mets: Devin Williams and Luke Weaver.
Aaron Judge remains the game's preeminent offensive force, and on the mound, New York is counting on a boost from the return of Gerrit Cole, who missed last season following Tommy John surgery.
Yankees manager Aaron Boone projects Cole to make his season debut in late May or early June.
In addition to Cole, the Yankees are waiting on left-hander Carlos Rodón, who is expected to return at some point in April following surgery in October to remove loose bodies from his pitching elbow.
New York shortstop Anthony Volpe is not likely to return before May as he recovers from left shoulder surgery.
Carlos Lagrange, a right-hander who turns 23 in May, could make an impact at some point.
He ended last season at Double-A and impressed during spring training with a fastball that averaged 100.2 mph and reached 103.1 mph.
