DETROIT – Ryan McMahon is not in the Yankees’ lineup tonight, as the lefty-hitting third baseman has been dealing with an ear-throat infection lately.
“Still pretty banged up today,” manager Aaron Boone said of McMahon’s status for Tuesday night’s game against the Tigers at Comerica Park.
If needed, McMahon could be an option off the bench. Lefty-hitting catcher J.C. Escarra is back, after Ali Sanchez went on the paternity list.
Sanchez is also nursing a sore right wrist, after exiting Monday night’s game due to being hit by a pitch. X-rays and a CT scan came back negative, and Boone is hopeful of Sanchez being an option in a few days.
Tonight, the Yanks will try to snap a three-game losing streak (and Detroit’s four-game winning streak), with veteran lefty Carlos Rodon on the mound, opposing Tigers’ righty Casey Mize.

So, it’s 2-1, Tigers, middle of the fourth on a gorgeous summer night in downtown Detroit.
Rodon gave up two in the third inning on three singles (Dillon Dingler RBI) and a wild pitch.
Making his MLB debut, Tigers right fielder Ben Malgeri contributed a single in his first big-league at-bat. He’s a former college teammate of Cam Schlittler’s at Northeastern; they won a conference championship together and Schlittler calls the outfielder a “toolsy player.”
The Yanks got one back in the fourth on singles by Jazz Chisholm (going first to third) and Spencer Jones, and an RBI groundout by Jose Caballero.
