After serving as the team’s leadoff hitter for the last four games, Ben Rice has moved back to the No. 2 spot in the lineup for Monday’s game. Additionally, he will also serve as the team’s designated hitter, after playing the last two games at first base. Paul Goldschmidt will play first base, while Amed Rosario will bat leadoff for the fifth time this season.
The move returns Rice to the spot in the lineup where he has most appeared in this season.
Rice is currently batting .293 with 77 hits, 15 doubles, two triples, 22 home runs, 55 runs, 53 RBIs and two stolen bases in 71 games this season. Defensively, Rice has only played first base this season, after previously appearing as a catcher in previous seasons.
Despite dropping the series against the Reds, the New York Yankees remain in first place of the American League East, with a two game lead over the Tampa Bay Rays. The Yankees have gone 6-4 over their last 10 games.
Six-time All-Star Gerritt Cole will make his sixth start of the season. He enters Monday’s matchup with a 2-1 record and a 2.57 ERA across 28 innings.
