Yankees' Chris Carter: Dropped from lineup Wednesday

Carter is out of the lineup Wednesday against the Angels.

Analysis:

Carter has gone hitless over his last three games while striking out six times in 10 at-bats, so he'll take a seat against Angels right-hander Ricky Nolasco. Matt Holliday picks up a rare start at first base while catcher Gary Sanchez serves as the Yankees' designated hitter, opening up a nod behind the plate for Austin Romine.
