With three of the four participants already decided, the League Championship Series in both the National League and American League are almost upon us and<strong> should be thrilling<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s a lot going on behind the scenes in addition to what we\u2019re seeing on the field. Let\u2019s <strong>catch up on the top stories<\/strong> in the baseball world from the past few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"coming-back\">Coming Back?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Yankees had no problem disposing of the Twins in three games in the American League Division Series, yet they <strong>are considering a couple of roster changes<\/strong> for the ALCS. Nothing is certain yet, but both Aaron Hicks and CC Sabathia could be added to the playoff roster in between series. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hicks has been out since early August because of a flexor strain in his right elbow. However, Hicks <strong>has pronounced himself fit to play<\/strong>, though the Yankees haven\u2019t decided whether to make the change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a similar situation with Sabathia, who was absent from the ALDS roster after a flare-up of his chronic knee problems late in the season. Sabathia, who will retire at the end of the season, <strong>threw a bullpen session<\/strong> on Wednesday in hopes of convincing the team that he\u2019s ready to go and capable of helping the team, but no decision has been made yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"good-to-go\">Good to Go<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Yankees had a couple of injury scares during their ALDS win, but it appears that there\u2019s nothing to worry about. First, Zack Britton left Game 3 of the ALDS with <strong>an apparent ankle injury<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Closer Aroldis Chapman then<strong> hurt his hand<\/strong> during the team\u2019s celebration after eliminating the Twins. He was seen in the locker room with a bandage on his left hand amidst the champaign shower, saying he got hit with a bottle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the Yankees have declared that both Britton and Chapman <strong>are fine and will be ready<\/strong> for the start of the ALCS on Saturday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"one-more-year\">One More Year<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Twins may have been eliminated in the ALDS, but they are hoping to return to the postseason next year and <strong>are moving to lock up an important piece of the puzzle<\/strong>. According to reports, the Twins plan to exercise their $12 million option on Nelson Cruz for the 2020 season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cruz hit .311 with 41 home runs and 108 RBI this season, leading one of the most potent lineups in baseball. The 39-year-old<strong> will continue to anchor Minnesota\u2019s lineup<\/strong> from the designated hitter spot amidst a slew of young, up-and-coming players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"calling-it-quits\">Calling It Quits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After the Braves were knocked out of the playoffs on Wednesday, veteran catcher Brian McCann <strong>announced that he\u2019s calling it a career<\/strong>. After 15 seasons in the majors, the 35-year-old McCann is retiring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He said he<strong> decided in August<\/strong> that this would be his last season. Fittingly, McCann was able to spend his final season in Atlanta, where he spent the first nine seasons of his career. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also spent this season <strong>under manager Brian Snitker<\/strong>, who was McCann\u2019s manager in Double-A when he first got called up to the majors in 2005. McCann finishes his career with a .262 average and 282 home runs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"If you\u2019ve been entertained by the MLB playoffs thus far, the fun is just getting started.
