Key Points:
- The Yankees have altered their lineup for Game 3 of the ALDS against the Rays, starting José Caballero at third base and Anthony Volpe at second base in an effort to avoid elimination.
- Ryan McMahon, who has struggled offensively and defensively with errors in Game 2, is benched in favor of Caballero, who is making his first postseason start against his former team.
- Trent Grisham is leading off and Austin Wells is batting sixth as part of the lineup changes designed to spark the offense against Rays right-hander Nick Martinez.
- Jazz Chisholm Jr., who also made critical errors in Game 2, is replaced by Volpe at second base, continuing the Yankees' adjustments following defensive miscues.
- Luis Garcia Jr. remains at first base despite recent offensive struggles, including a notable home run in the wild-card series but overall inconsistent hitting in recent weeks.
