Yankees change lineup for Game 4 of World Series vs. Dodgers - ESPN

NEW YORK — Pushed to the brink of elimination, the New York Yankees made two changes to their lineup for Game 4 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday.

Giancarlo Stanton, one of the team's two best hitters in October, was moved down from the cleanup spot to fifth, switching with Jazz Chisholm Jr.

Flipping the two players creates more left-right balance in the lineup — Stanton is right-handed and Chisholm bats left-handed — after the right-handed-hitting Aaron Judge in the three-hole to counter the Dodgers' bullpen game.

Splitting the right-handers avoids giving the Dodgers an advantage with a right-handed reliever for multiple batters. Still, moving Stanton down could come at a cost.
