Pitching Matchups – Rangers vs Yankees
Robinson Cano is out of tonight’s lineup due to the cold according to Chad Jennings:
Robinson Cano said he’s out of today’s lineup because he’s been sick since yesterday. He called it a cold, and his voice is a little more scratchy than usual. He said he’s felt low on energy.
Cano has taken some medicine and plans to take some batting practice in the cage, but he’s not sure whether he’ll be able to pinch hit.
Also, according to Marc Carig/The Star-Ledger, Teixeira may miss the 6-game road trip with the Yankees, because Mark plans on being with his wife for the birth of their child.
I have also included tonight’s lineup, with the Pitching Matchups, due to time restriction on my part.
Update (6:59pm EST) – Mark Teixeira, welcomed his new son, William Charles, this afternoon, according to Bryan Hoch.
Congrats to both Mark and Leigh on their newest arrival.
