With Boston sending out southpaw Patrick Sandoval, the left-handed-hitting Garcia will have the night off Friday. Paul Goldschmidt will lead off and man first base while Ben Rice bats second and acts as the designated hitter for the Yankees.

Garcia put the finishing touches on an emphatic New York win with his two-run blast to right field in the eighth inning. It was the infielder's second straight game with a long ball, and he's now gone deep four times across his past six contests. Garcia has slashed an incredible .524/.583/1.143 during that span, so he's as hot as any player in baseball at the moment. He's up to 28 homers and 87 runs batted in on the campaign, with the RBI mark good for seventh-most in the majors.
