Austin Wells and Trent Grisham, who came off the bench Wednesday, are back in the starting lineup for the Yankees in their series finale against Toronto on Thursday.

Austin Wells and Trent Grisham are back in the starting lineup for the New York Yankees in their series finale against Toronto on Thursday

Subway Series continues this weekend when the New York Mets host the crosstown rival New York Yankees for three games at Citi Field. It is potentially a World Series preview, though neither team has looked the part of a World Series contender the last 3-4 weeks.

New York has Austin Wells, J.C. Escarra, and Ben Rice on what's suddenly become a crowded depth chart. They've also lost Luis Torrens, Jose Trevino, Ben Rortvedt, Carlos Narváez, Gary Sanchez, and Kyle Higashioka to decent roles with other organizations.

As the Yankees and Mets meet for another round of the Subway Series -- this time in Queens -- the dynamic between New York City's two franchises has reached a point that those who have lived the rivalry were skeptical they'd ever see.
