However, manager Joe Girardi has said that Heathcott will not be considered as a replacement for Curtis Granderson. Zoilo Almonte, who has impressed the Yanks so far, will be in right field. Chris Stewart will get a chance to make a name for himself in the catching battle. Here is the rest of the lineup:
