Minnesota Twins vs New York Yankees Starting Lineup — Sunday, Jul 5, 2026

Byron Buxton has done the most damage against Ryan Weathers, going 2-for-2 in 3 PA with a 2.500 OPS. Royce Lewis is 1-for-3 against the left-hander with a .333 average and .666 OPS, while Josh Bell is hitless at 0-for-3 with a .000 OPS. Austin Martin, Kody Clemens, Victor Caratini, Brooks Lee, Ryan Kreidler, and Luke Keaschall have no MLB history vs Weathers, so most of this group is seeing him for the first time.

Anthony Volpe stands out against Joe Ryan, going 6-for-12 with a .500 average and 1.333 OPS. Cody Bellinger is 2-for-7 in 8 PA with a 1.232 OPS, José Caballero is 1-for-3 in 4 PA with a 1.167 OPS, and Ben Rice is 1-for-3 with a .333 average and .666 OPS. Trent Grisham is 1-for-7 with a .143 average and .286 OPS, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. is hitless at 0-for-3 with a .000 OPS and Austin Wells is hitless at 0-for-4 with a .000 OPS. Jasson Domínguez and Max Schuemann have no MLB history vs Ryan.

The home side clearly brings more established history into this matchup, led by Volpe’s sizable sample and a few other productive looks against Ryan. The away side has only a handful of prior meetings with Weathers, and most of those hitters are unfamiliar with him.
