Ben Rice Sitting Versus Orioles
Ben Rice is not in the team's starting lineup for Monday's series opener at Camden Yards against the division-rival Baltimore Orioles. The left-handed-hitting Trent Grisham will draw into the starting lineup in the leadoff spot and start in center field, while Jasson Dominguez is at DH and is batting eighth against Orioles right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano. Since returning from a left-elbow contusion that caused him to miss a few games last week, Rice has gone 3-for-19 with a home run and a double for the Yankees. On the year, Rice is batting .259 (22-for-85) with six home runs, 11 RBI, two steals and 18 runs scored. He should return to action for Game 2 of the series on Tuesday. Grisham is hitting out of his mind in the early going and has seven long balls already, with three coming in his last four games. He'll surely be an intriguing DFS lineup option on Monday.
