Despite a fairly ugly loss on Sunday Night Baseball, the New York Yankees still took the series from the Philadelphia Phillies over the weekend, and now, on Monday, they head to Rate Field to take on the AL-Central-leading Chicago White Sox in an exciting series in MLB.
With a 59-46 record, the Yankees still sit in 2nd place in the AL East behind the Tampa Bay Rays (three games). On Monday, Max Fried (4-3, 2.97 ERA, 57 SO) will take the ball for the series opener, and the Yankees lineup will try to muster offense against Noah Schultz.
Ahead of the White Sox series opener, the Yankees revealed their lineup, which features an interesting Max Schuemann decision.
