Wandy Peralta said he knew he’d be available to pitch a third straight day today from the moment he woke up. Believes he could pitch if needed tomorrow in Game 5.

Peralta pitched for the third consecutive game on Sunday, retiring the Guardians in order to protect a two-run lead in the ninth inning. He only needed seven pitches to retire the side, so expect to see him once more in a critical late-game matchup on Monday.

The only member of the Yankees staff that will likely be unavailable is Gerrit Cole, after throwing 110 pitches in his start on Sunday.

Peralta posted a strong 2.72 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, four saves, and 47 strikeouts over 56 innings of work this season.
