Although the catching and first-base positions have yet to be 100 percent determined, tonight’s lineup will be the closest thing we’ve seen to an Opening Day lineup all spring. Newly acquired outfielder Vernon Wells will put on a Yankee uniform for the first time and patrol left field. CC Sabathia will get his final tuneup before toeing the rubber at Yankee Stadium next Monday afternoon against the Boston Red Sox. Here is the rest of the lineup, which will be taking on the newest member of the American League, the Houston Astros:
New York Yankees
Brett Gardner CF
Ichiro Suzuki RF
Robinson Cano 2B
Kevin Youkilis 3B
Travis Hafner DH
Vernon Wells LF
Juan Rivera 1B
Eduardo Nunez SS
Chris Stewart C
LHP CC Sabathia
Game Time: 7:05 pm
