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.
