Matt Carpenter a late add to Yankees' Tuesday lineup
New York Yankees infielder Matt Carpenter is starting Tuesday in the team's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
What It Means:
Carpenter was originally slated to begin Tuesday's game on the bench. However, Anthony Rizzo has been scratched from the lineup due to lower back stiffness. As a result, Carpenter is now starting, getting the nod at designated hitter and batting sixth in the order versus Pirates starter Jose Quintana.
In 52 plate appearances this season, Carpenter has a .286 batting average with a 1.293 OPS, 8 home runs, 13 runs and 17 RBI.
