For the first time since Game 1 of the Wild Card series, Paul Goldschmidt has drawn into the Yankees' starting lineup.
After extending the series with a comeback win in Game 3, New York has announced its lineup for Game 4 at Yankee Stadium, and they'll bring the experienced Goldschmidt back into the mix for just the second time this postseason.
With Goldschmidt starting at first base, Ben Rice is headed back to the bench for the Yankees, but he'll likely be called upon in a pinch-hit situation. But with Rice out of the starting lineup, what does the Yankees' batting order for Game 4 look like?
