Golson Back
In a mild surprise, the Yankees have recalled Greg Golson from Scranton and DL'ed Aceves. Golson's elevation gives the Yankees five outfielders and some depth. I would imagine they might get creative with the lineups today. A-Rod is DH'ing the first game and I could see the Yankees resting or DH'ing either Teixeira or Jeter or both in the night game. Assuming it's Teixeira, then I would assume you see Swisher at first in the nightcap and Golson or Winn in right.
Apart from the lineup shuffles, Game 1 is all about Javier Vazquez. Vazquez's struggles during the first month of the season weren't as big a deal because they coincided with the Yankees playing good and injury-free baseball. Now that the bumps and bruises are cropping up, the Yankees need Vazquez to step up. The question it, can he?
