Cleveland Guardians vs. New York Yankees

The Cleveland Guardians open a home series against the New York Yankees at Progressive Field, pitting an American League Central club coming off a historic 2025 division comeback against one of baseball's most storied franchises. Progressive Field, which opened in 1994 as part of the retro-ballpark movement, remains a downtown Cleveland fixture within the Gateway Sports and Entertainment Complex. The Guardians erased a 15.5-game deficit to Detroit in 2025 to claim the AL Central, the largest divisional comeback in MLB history, while the Yankees bring their own deep championship tradition and one of the league's highest-profile rosters into the building. Early in the MLB season, the matchup offers Cleveland fans a marquee interleague-style draw against a historic rival at one of the game's more distinctive ballparks.
