Yankees announce lineup vs Braves on Saturday as Gerrit Cole starts
· Yahoo Sports
NEW YORK - It's a fairly quick turnover at Yankee Stadium, after the Yanks' comeback, 10-inning win against the Braves that ended after midnight.
And it's a terrific Saturday afternoon matchup, with Braves' lefty Chris Sale (12-6, 2.08) opposing Gerrit Cole (5-5, 3.42) in a 3:05 p.m. start.

Before Cole takes the mound, there'll be a traditional Old-Timer's Day Game played here - of course, on one of the hottest, most humid of early summer afternoons.
Anyway, Cole is coming off a pair of wins at Chicago, limiting the White Sox and Cubs to a combined one earned run across 11.2 innings on the Yanks' last road trip.
And a lot has changed since then, with the Yanks adding Luis Garcia Jr. and Heliot Ramos via trades, calling up George Lombard Jr., and sending Jasson Dominguez and Anthony Volpe to Triple-A.
Meanwhile, on Saturday, Yanks' lefty Carlos Rodon (elbow inflammation) is due to throw 45 pitches in a rehab start at Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Rodon might require one more rehab start before being summoned back to the Yankees, contributing at the big-league level as he continues to build back.
Here is the Yankees' Saturday lineup:
- Paul Goldschmidt, 1B
- Heliot Ramos, LF
- Ben Rice, DH
- Amed Rosario, 3B
- Trent Grisham, CF
- George Lombard Jr., SS
- Spencer Jones, RF
- Jose Caballero, 2B
- Austin Wells, C
