Although the Yankees wrapped up the six-game road trip with a win yesterday, I’m glad that run through middle America is over with. It was an ugly trip and I hope getting back to the Bronx will help get some of the bats going. Derek Jeter and Nick Swisher can’t do it all. Here’s the starting lineup…
SS Derek Jeter
DH Nick Swisher
2B Robinson Cano
1B Mark Teixeira
CF Curtis Granderson
3B Eric Chavez — starting four straight games in the field for the first time in a long, long time
C Russell Martin
LF Raul Ibanez
RF Ichiro Suzuki
RHP David Phelps
It was raining quite heavily earlier this morning in New York, but things have cleared up and they shouldn’t have any trouble getting tonight’s game in. First pitch is scheduled for a little after 7pm ET and can be seen on YES. Enjoy.
Steve Pearce Update: The recently-acquired Pearce won’t report to the team until tomorrow, so that’s when the 25-man roster move will be made. I full expect Phelps to be optioned to Triple-A after tonight’s game since they won’t need a fifth starter for a while thanks to Thursday’s off-day.
