Yankees

 New York heads to Detroit for a three-game set in the middle of its 10-game road trip. The Tigers' beat the Yankees in two of three from April 1-3, with New York scoring just five total runs. The Yankees' .176 batting average, .255 on-base and .275 slugging in that series are all their worst in any set this season.

 The Yankees took three of four from the Red Sox, including a combined shutout Monday. New York has won 12 of its last 16 games with a 2.57 starters' ERA after having a 4.88 ERA before then. Yankee starters have given up 0.96 home runs per nine innings in that span, compared to 1.94 before then.

 The Tigers dropped two of three in Oakland, losing their eighth consecutive series. Detroit hasn't won a series since July 29-31 against the Angels and has won just six series all season. The Tigers won fewer than 10 series just twice in franchise history (eight, 2003; nine, 1920).

 Brett Gardner is last in the American League with a .165 batting average with runners in scoring position (min. 400 total PA). Only Raul Mondesi in 2003 has a lower average in Yankee history with at least 100 plate appearances with RISP.

 Victor Reyes is hitting .448 in September and is tied for the major league lead with five doubles this month (Tim Anderson, CWS). Reyes is batting .312 this season after hitting .222 last year. That 90-point increase is the second highest in Tigers history (Bobby Higginson, 1995-96, min. 200 PA both seasons).

 Luke Voit is slashing .303/.412/.567 on the road this season and .251/.365/.404 at home. His 211-point increase of road OPS over home OPS is on pace to be the highest by a Yankee since Robinson Cano in 2005 (+.231).

Tigers

CC Sabathia is making another -- and probably final -- comeback when he starts at Detroit on Wednesday.
The 39-year-old New York Yankees left-hander, who has been bothered most of the season by a balky right knee, will take the mound for the first time this month in the second game of a three-game series. Sabathia hasn't pitched since Aug. 30, when he gave up one run in three innings against Oakland.

DETROIT (AP)  CC Sabathia's next trip to the mound will have to wait a bit.
The New York Yankees and Detroit Tigers were rained out Wednesday night, and the game was rescheduled as part of a doubleheader Thursday. Sabathia, who has dealt with right knee problems this season, had his start pushed back to the second game of the twinbill.
