Red Sox feature unusual lineup against Yankees ace Cam Schlittler

The Boston Red Sox have named a unique lineup for their game against the New York Yankees, featuring four switch hitters, as they face Yankees ace Cam Schlittler on August 28, 2026, at Yankee Stadium. Interim manager Chad Tracy is deploying Nick Sogard, Adley Rutschman, Mickey Gasper, and Anthony Seigler as switch hitters, hoping to exploit Schlittler's struggles against left-handed batters. The Red Sox need to win at least two of four games to secure a tiebreaker in the American League Wild Card race. Patrick Sandoval will pitch for Boston, while Schlittler, who leads the league with a 2.16 ERA, opposes him for New York.
