On Thursday, the Yankees received some unexpected news on one of their minor league players in Scranton. According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, switch-hitting utility man Cooper Hummel has triggered his release clause. This leaves the Yankees with a decision to make.

Preview the May 22 matchup between the New York Yankees and Texas Rangers with recent trends, how to watch, livestream info, and more.

The Rangers came to New York. They dodged rain and continued their aversion to scoring runs, losing 1-0 to the Yankees to complete New York’s three-game sweep at Yankee Stadium. The Rangers fell back below .500 to 25-26. Need more details? No? Too bad. We got ‘em:

Carlos Rodón pitched six innings of two-hit ball for his fifth straight win, Aaron Judge went 0 for 3 to fall under .400 for the first time in more than a month and the surging New York Yankees earned a three-game series sweep with a 1-0 victory over the Texas Rangers.

Unbeknownst to Schmidt, the Yankees invited his father, U.S. Marine Corps Colonel Dwight Schmidt, to throw out the game's ceremonial first pitch. Dwight, who was in New York City for Fleet Week, surprised his son at Yankee Stadium and the two exchanged a big embrace before Clarke got the opportunity to catch the first pitch from his father.

If the game ends up postponed, it could create a real scheduling bind for the teams as this is the Rangers’ only scheduled trip to Yankee Stadium. The obvious choice for rescheduling would be Sept. 11, an off day for the Rangers ahead of a series at the New York Mets, but the Yankees are scheduled to play that day against Detroit.
