Kyle Higashioka Returning To The Starting Lineup For New York As They Play Their Finale Verses Tampa Bay Today In St. Petersburg Florida?
Kyle Higashika hasn’t been in New York’s starting lineup recently!
Why?
Because he tested positive for the coronavirus that is still affecting us in the United States and around the world.
But could he returning to the starting lineup as New York plays their finale today verses Tampa Bay in St. Petersburg Florida?
The answer is yes!
Why?
Because Kyle Higashioka was reinstated from the covid list on Tuesday when New York opened up their three game series with Tampa Bay.

New York opened scoring in the fifth inning when Greg Allen doubled and scored on a LeMahieu single, with LeMahieu having extended his on-base streak to 36 games.
Rougned Odor raced through a late “stop” sign from third-base coach Phil Nevin in the sixth inning, tumbling into home plate with the Yankees’ third run of the evening.
Ryan LaMarre’s eighth-inning solo home run off reliever Jeffrey Springs offered insurance, and the Yankees needed that when Zack Britton stumbled in a shaky home half, including a Randy Arozarena ground-rule double that trimmed New York’s lead to one run.
Gio Urshela hit a two-run double to center field in the sixth inning off Tampa Bay starter Shane McClanahan.

Last night New York topped Tampa Bay by a score of 3-1!
When?
In the tenth inning in St. Petersburg Florida!
Why?
Aaron Judge who arrived late to the dugout, late to Tropicana Field and was scratched from New York’s starting lineup as New York played game two of their three game series against Tampa Bay.
Why?
Because Aaron Judge who is New York’s right fielder was going through ongoing medical testing.
But Aaron Judge wasted no time when Aaron Boone inserted him into the game in the fifth inning as a pinch -hitter contributing to the game with run batted in single tipped the glove of Tampa Bay shortstop Wander Franco that was followed by a run -scoring wild pitch that added cushion.
DJ Lemaieu who is a versatile infielder contributed defensively in the tenth inning for New York.
How?
DJ LeMahieu waved his arms twice as he positioned for the final play of Wednesday’s game, supremely confident in his ability to complete a snag he has been making since his earliest days on a ballfield. He stared into Tropicana Field’s oatmeal-tinted roof and … suddenly didn’t seem quite so sure.
DJLeMahieu’s knees buckled and he sprawled to his right, stabbing his gloved left hand across his body and hoping for a miracle. The ball snagged leather instead of bouncing off the infield dirt, and the normally stoic first baseman flashed a relieved smile, having sealed the Yankees’ 3-1, 10-inning victory over Tampa Bay.
