New York Yankees vs Tampa Bay Rays Starting Lineup — Wednesday, Jul 8, 2026
Final Lineups
New York Yankees @ Tampa Bay Rays · Wednesday, Jul 8, 2026
Paul Goldschmidt, Ben Rice, Amed Rosario, Cody Bellinger, Jasson Domínguez, Anthony Volpe, Max Schuemann, Austin Wells, and José Caballero have no MLB history vs Shane McClanahan. That leaves New York with an entirely unfamiliar set of matchups against the left-hander, with no prior plate appearances anywhere in this projected group.
Yandy Díaz, Jonathan Aranda, Junior Caminero, Cedric Mullins, Jonny DeLuca, Chandler Simpson, Ben Williamson, Taylor Walls, and Nick Fortes have no MLB history vs Gerrit Cole. Tampa Bay is in the same spot, as every listed hitter is seeing Cole without any previous major league plate appearances against him.
Neither side brings any established batter-versus-pitcher history into this matchup. It is a complete reset for both lineups, with no edge in familiarity against the opposing starter.
