There's a good chance the New York Yankees' lineup will look a bit different a day after they ended a four-game losing streak.
The Yankees wrap up a three-game series against the host Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday afternoon.
The Yankees could have a new look to the middle of their infield for Wednesday's game with Anthony Volpe available at shortstop after Jose Caballero was placed on the 10-day injured list with a fracture of the middle finger on his right hand.
Volpe was called up from Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre and could make his season debut at the major league level after Max Schuemann played shortstop in Tuesday's 6-2 win.
'I would expect Anthony to play a lot,' Yankees manager Aaron Boone said.
Volpe is coming off offseason shoulder surgery and then optioned to the minor leagues when his rehab assignment ended.
'He hasn't gotten a lot of results yet,' Boone said. 'He's had a number of at-bats, a lot of reps, a lot of playing time, kind of more than a full spring training. So hopefully, he's ready to go and come up here and be a spark for us.'
Second baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. also wasn't in New York's starting lineup Tuesday, but he went 0-for-1 as a pinch hitter to drop his batting average to .200.
'Obviously, he's an outstanding player,' Boone said. 'But you sense guys feeling it when you're a month-plus in and you're not doing what the back of your baseball card is. Probably pressing a little too much, trying to do a little too much. He's going to get it going, I have no doubt about that.'
Wednesday's game has been rescheduled for an afternoon first pitch, moved up over five hours because of weather-related concerns in the evening.
The Yankees have won five of six 2026 meetings with the Orioles after claiming Tuesday's decision.
'We just couldn't scratch (more runs) through,' Baltimore manager Craig Albernaz said.
Right-hander Kyle Bradish (1-5, 4.83 ERA) gets the call for the Orioles as he tries to halt a personal three-game losing streak. One of those setbacks came May 2 at New York when the Yankees dinged him for five runs in four innings as he yielded six hits and four walks.
Bradish had a solid bounce-back effort Friday when he struck out a season-high 10 Athletics despite giving up three runs and taking the defeat. It has been more than a month since Bradish's lone victory on April 8.
In 2025, Bradish faced the Yankees twice at the end of the season, with a pair of no-decisions while allowing three runs in 10 innings combined in those matchups. For his career, he's 1-2 with a 3.92 ERA in eight starts vs. New York.
The Yankees will have left-hander Max Fried (4-2, 2.91) on the mound. He didn't have a decision May 3 vs. Baltimore when he went 5 1/3 innings and allowed three runs in New York's eventual 11-3 romp. He was touched up for five runs in six innings Friday at Milwaukee.
Fried is 2-2 with a 3.52 ERA in six all-time starts against the Orioles.
The Orioles dealt with another ailment with outfielder Dylan Beavers removed from Tuesday's lineup pregame because of right oblique discomfort.
'All I know is he was hitting in the cage before the game to get ready and he felt something in his side and was out of the lineup,' Albernaz said.
