As I mentioned earlier, the Yankees are about to begin a very road-heavy portion of their schedule. Fifteen of the team’s next 19 games are on the road, starting with tonight’s series opener against the Red Sox. Only four home games between now and May 22nd. Geez.
Of course, tonight is the start of a Yankees-Red Sox series, and that adds another layer of chaos to things. These games are rarely easy, pretty stressful, and they usually take four hours too. Wednesday’s loss notwithstanding, the Yankees have been playing pretty well of late, so it would be nice to start this extended stretch of road games off on the right foot. Here is the Red Sox’s lineup and here is the Yankees’ lineup:
- CF Jacoby Ellsbury
- LF Brett Gardner
- 1B Mark Teixeira
- C Brian McCann
- RF Carlos Beltran
- 3B Chase Headley
- DH Garrett Jones
- 2B Stephen Drew
- SS Didi Gregorius
LHP CC Sabathia
It’s on the cold side up in Boston but the sky is clear. Tonight’s game is scheduled to begin at 7:10pm ET and can be seen on YES locally and MLB Network nationally, depending on where you live. Enjoy the game.
Injury Update: Chris Capuano (quad) is scheduled to throw four innings and 60 pitches for High-A Tampa tomorrow. It’ll be his first official minor league rehab outing, starting his 30-day clock. Capuano might only be two weeks away from joining the rotation if he’s already up to 60 pitches though. Good news.
