The long homestand comes to an end today, and so far things have gone very well. The Yankees have won six of nine and today they can make it seven of ten. That didn’t seem possible two weeks ago, huh? The Yankees have already banked series wins over the high scoring Red Sox and the defending champion Royals. Now they have to win a series against the first place White Sox. Here is the ChiSox’s lineup and here is the Yanks’ lineup:
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- LF Brett Gardner
- DH Carlos Beltran
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- C Brian McCann
- 2B Starlin Castro
- RF Dustin Ackley
- SS Didi Gregorius
- 3B Ronald Torreyes
RHP Masahiro Tanaka
It is cool, cloudy, and really windy in New York today. I don’t know if that means balls will be flying out of the park or dying in the air. I guess we’ll find out. Today’s game will begin a little after 1pm ET, and you can watch on WPIX locally and MLB Network nationally. Enjoy the game.
Injury Updates: CC Sabathia (groin) threw 45 pitches in a simulated game and had no problem. Joe Girardi said Sabathia will start Friday, when he is eligible to come off the DL … Alex Rodriguez (hamstring) has been doing some light running and continues to hit off a tee and in the batting cage. The hope is he will be ready to be activated when eligible Thursday.
