New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays Starting Lineup — Tuesday, Jul 7, 2026

Trent Grisham, Paul Goldschmidt, Ben Rice, Amed Rosario, Cody Bellinger, José Caballero, Jazz Chisholm Jr., Max Schuemann, and Ali Sánchez all have no MLB history vs Ian Seymour. That leaves New York with a completely unfamiliar look against the left-hander, with no prior plate appearances anywhere in this projected group. Seymour will be seeing every away starter for the first time at the MLB level.

Yandy Díaz, Jonathan Aranda, Junior Caminero, Cedric Mullins, Chandler Simpson, Victor Mesa Jr., Taylor Walls, Richie Palacios, and Hunter Feduccia all have no MLB history vs Will Warren. Tampa Bay is in the same spot as New York here, with no prior plate appearances from any projected starter against the right-hander. Warren also draws a lineup made up entirely of first-time MLB matchups.

Neither side brings any familiarity into this matchup. The Yankees and Rays are even here, with both lineups showing zero MLB history against the opposing starter.
