Rays, Yankees lineups Thursday: Brett Gardner sits, Shane Robinson starts

Here are the lineups for the Yankees and the Tampa Bay Rays at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, August 16, 2018 (8/16/18). Masahiro Tanaka will be on the mound for the Yankees in the rubber game of the three-game series. The Yankees won, 4-1, on Tuesday behind J.A. Happ. The Rays won, 6-1 on Wednesday, with Luis Cessa taking the loss.




PROSPECT SPOTLIGHT
Tyler Nunez, a C from Lake Nona HS, is a 6'2 190lb athletic catcher who provides strength with the bat and glove. During BP, Tyler stuck with a middle of the field approach while staying on a line. He impacted the ball well with his compact and direct path, T90EV. He showed off his real athleticism behind the plate by posting a 2.04 pop time while staying around the bag on every throw. He is a good looking athletic uncommitted catcher to keep an eye on.
