For Saturday’s game, the Yankees have announced their starting lineup.
Via Underdog MLB: “Yankees 7/11 A. Rosario 3B B. Rice DH T. Grisham CF P. Goldschmidt 1B C. Bellinger LF J. Domínguez RF J. Chisholm Jr. 2B A. Volpe SS A. Sánchez C C. Schlittler SP”
Wells has been removed from the lineup on Saturday.
While he may have needed a day off, it’s still an intriguing decision considering Wells has finally shown signs that he is getting out of his slump.
Right now, the 26-year-old is batting .153 with 29 hits, six home runs, 12 RBIs, 19 runs and one stolen base in 64 games.
He is in the middle of his fourth MLB season (all with New York).
