Minnesota Twins vs New York Yankees Starting Lineup — Saturday, Jul 4, 2026
Final Lineups
Minnesota Twins @ New York Yankees · Saturday, Jul 4, 2026
Minnesota’s lineup has no MLB history against Brendan Beck. Trevor Larnach, Byron Buxton, Kody Clemens, Josh Bell, Royce Lewis, Brooks Lee, Ryan Kreidler, Luke Keaschall, and Alex Jackson have not previously faced him in the majors. That leaves the Twins with a completely unfamiliar look against Beck entering this matchup.
New York brings several hitters with prior success against Zebby Matthews. Ben Rice is 4-for-6 with a 2.000 OPS, Anthony Volpe is 2-for-3 in 4 PA with a 1.750 OPS, and Trent Grisham is 2-for-5 in 6 PA with a 1.333 OPS. Cody Bellinger and Ryan McMahon are each 2-for-6 with a 1.166 OPS, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. is hitless at 0-for-4 in 5 PA with a .200 OPS. Jasson Domínguez, Max Schuemann, and Ali Sánchez have no MLB history against Matthews.
The Yankees clearly have the more established track record against the opposing starter. Minnesota, by contrast, is going in with an entirely clean slate versus Beck.
