The Yankees are set to continue their postseason run, and have revealed their lineup for Game 1 of the Division Series from Tampa Bay.
Ben Rice leads off for the Yankees after dominating the Red Sox in the Wild Card Series, with expectations to continue his hot streak against the Rays. Bellinger will bat second with García Jr. in the hole, seemingly unchanged from the Game 2 lineup that secured the sweep against Boston.
Spencer Jones will hit cleanup in the order and start in right over Heliot Ramos,
followed by George Lombard Jr. and Jazz Chisholm Jr., who will get the start at second over Anthony Volpe. Trent Grisham will notably get the start at center field, with Austin Wells unsurprisingly starting behind the plate.
As confirmed ahead of the postseason matchup, Gerrit Cole will start on the mound as the Yankees look to earn a series opener win.
Here’s a look at the Rays’ starting lineup, which puts Yandy Díaz in the leadoff spot followed by Jonathan Aranda and Junior Caminero.
