Yankees reveal lineup for Game 1 of ALDS vs. Rays

The New York Yankees have locked in their batting order and pitching selection for the opening game of the American League Division Series against Tampa Bay, maintaining the identical configuration that completed a wild card sweep of Boston. Gerrit Cole takes the ball as the starting pitcher, while Ben Rice leads off and Cody Bellinger hits second.

Spencer Jones claims the cleanup role in right field, joined in the starting lineup by George Lombard Jr., Jazz Chisholm Jr. at second base, Trent Grisham in center, and Austin Wells behind the plate.

The opposing squad also established its batting order with Yandy Díaz leading off, followed by Jonathan Aranda and Junior Caminero.
