Spencer Jones bats third, Yankees announce Wednesday lineup vs. Mariners
It's the middle game of a three-game set at Yankee Stadium between the Mariners and Yankees.
New York - In their most recent 4-1 victory over Seattle, the Yankees extended their season to include their 30th comeback win. Manager Aaron Boone expressed his hope that this recent string of tight games would serve the team well, crediting the team's defense and pitching. However, the lineup has faced challenges, with first baseman/DH Ben Rice struggling at .119 and Heliot Ramos batting a mere .095 since last week's trade from San Francisco.
The Yankees face a right-handed starter, Bryce Miller (4-6, 3.08), in this matchup, while Will Warren (8-6, 4.18) will face the team's regular lineup. Notably, Spencer Jones has been moved up to bat third, while George Lombard Jr. will start at first base and hit ninth. The final Yankees lineup for Wednesday's game is as follows: Trent Grisham at center field, Ben Rice at designated hitter, Luis Garcia Jr. at right field, Heliot Ramos at left field, Heliot Ramos at first base, Jazz Chisholm Jr. at left field, Ryan McMahon at second base, Austin Wells at third base, George Lombard Jr. at shortstop, and the catcher position remains open.
