New York Yankees Notes: Lineup, a Memorial and Tickets

The Yankees have a four-game weekend series against the Royals in Kansas City this weekend with CC Sabathia starting tonight against Bruce Chen. So not only will the Yankees get to face a weak team in the Royals, but since Zack Greinke pitched yesterday, they won’t have to face him this weekend.

Here are some notes:

• Jorge Posada is out of today’s lineup. No problems, just rest.
• Mark Teixeira and Curtis Granderson are back in.
• The Yankees are holding a memorial for George Steinbrenner at the stadium that is tentatively scheduled for September 20.
• Day-of-the-game tickets will now be sold at the Times Squre Modell’s for up to half-off their face value.

Here is tonight’s lineup:

Jeter SS
Swisher RF
Teixeira 1B
Rodriguez 3B
Cano 2B
Thames DH
Kearns LF
Granderson CF
Cervelli C
