New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays Starting Lineup — Monday, Jul 6, 2026

Trent Grisham, Ben Rice, Paul Goldschmidt, Cody Bellinger, Jasson Domínguez, Jazz Chisholm Jr., José Caballero, Ryan McMahon, and Austin Wells have no MLB history vs Griffin Jax. That leaves the entire visiting lineup without a prior plate appearance against him. There are no established batter-pitcher trends to lean on here for New York.

Yandy Díaz, Jonathan Aranda, Junior Caminero, Cedric Mullins, Jonny DeLuca, Chandler Simpson, Nick Fortes, Richie Palacios, and Taylor Walls have no MLB history vs Cam Schlittler. Tampa Bay is in the same spot, with every projected starter entering without a previous plate appearance against the right-hander. As a result, there is no head-to-head track record to highlight on the home side either.

Neither side has more familiar hitters against the opposing starter, because both lineups are entirely without MLB history in these matchups. This game opens with a clean slate from a batter-versus-pitcher standpoint.
