The Yankees will be going from the sun splashed fields of Florida to the brisk cool air up north, as they will travel to our nation’s capital to take on the Washington Nationals in a pre-season exhibition game.
The game will be a dress-rehearsal of sorts before the season kicks off on Monday, so both teams will throw out the majority of their starting players. Andy Pettitte will get one last start to fine-tune his pitches before the season begins. Both teams will utilize the DH. Here are the lineups for both teams:
New York Yankees
Brett Gardner CF
Ichiro Suzuki RF
Robinson Cano 2B
Kevin Youkilis 3B
Travis Hafner DH
Vernon Wells LF
Lyle Overbay 1B
Eduardo Nunez SS
