New York Yankees vs Washington Nationals Starting Lineup — Sunday, Jul 12, 2026

New York has several hitters with at least a little history against Cade Cavalli, even if the sample is tiny. Cody Bellinger is 2-for-2 with a 3.500 OPS, Ben Rice is 2-for-2 with a 2.000 OPS, and Trent Grisham is 1-for-2 with a 2.500 OPS. Jasson Domínguez and Ryan McMahon are each 1-for-2 with a 2.500 OPS, while Jazz Chisholm Jr. is hitless in 1 at-bat with a .500 OPS. Austin Wells is hitless in 1 at-bat with a .000 OPS, Max Schuemann is hitless in 1 at-bat with a .500 OPS, and José Caballero has no MLB history vs Cavalli.

Washington does not have any prior MLB history against Will Warren in this lineup. James Wood, Luis García Jr., Abimelec Ortiz, CJ Abrams, Dylan Crews, Daylen Lile, José Tena, Jorbit Vivas, and Keibert Ruiz all have no MLB history vs Warren. That leaves the Nationals with a completely unfamiliar matchup profile entering this start.

The Yankees clearly bring more familiarity into this game, with eight hitters owning at least one prior at-bat against Cavalli. The Nationals, by contrast, are seeing Warren for the first time across the board.
