New York Yankees, Cleveland Guardians Announce ALDS Game 4 Starting Lineups

Here's a look at how the Cleveland Guardians and New York Yankees will line up for game four of the American League Division Series Sunday evening at Progressive Field in Cleveland. The Yankees are benching shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and starting rookie Oswaldo Cabrera in his place in Sunday's elimination game. Cal Quantrill and Gerrit Cole will each take the mound. The Guardians lead the ALDS 2-1 and can clinch a trip to the American League Championship Series with a win Sunday.

The New York Yankees and Cleveland Guardians released their starting lineups Sunday afternoon for game four of the American League Division Series at Progressive Field in Cleveland, set to start at 7:07 p.m. ET on TBS.

The Guardians picked up a 6-5 walk-off victory Saturday night in game three, and now have a chance to clinch a trip to the American League Championship Series in front of their fans at home Sunday night.

The Guardians will use the exact same lineup and batting order as they did in Saturday night's win. Cal Quantrill will attempt to pick up his first career playoff win and send the Guardians back to the ALCS for the first time in six years.

The Yankees are switching things up, once again. Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who started 138 games  for the Bronx Bombers as their primary shortstop in 2022, will hit the bench, as 23-year-old rookie Oswaldo Cabrera will start in his place. Cabrera has made just three starts at shortstop in his young career.

With Cabrera moving from left field to shortstop, Aaron Hicks will return to the Yankees starting lineup, playing left field.

1) 2B Gleyber Torres .257/.310/.761

2) RF Aaron Judge .311/.425/1.111
