Analysis:

With lefty Chris Capuano on the mound for the Yankees, manager Joe Maddon will counter with a lineup consisting of eight right-handed batters, with Kiermaier moving to the bench as a consequence. Valued primarily for his glove heading into the season, Kiermaier has surprisingly proven capable at the dish this season as well, slashing .272/.324/.472 with 10 homers and five stolen bases over 319 plate appearances.
