We get pretty close to the A lineup today, with Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge left to right in the outfield, and Ben Rice at first base. Anthony Volpe returns to shortstop and bats ninth which…is whatever. The org likes their kid.

The WNBA playoffs are set to begin Sunday with New York looking to become the fourth team to repeat as champions and Minnesota trying to avenge last season’s heartbreaking loss in the Finals.

The Yankees had hoped Luke Weaver’s September struggles were just a blip before the playoffs. But Monday night in Minnesota, that hope took another hit in a rare 7-0 shutout loss to the Twins at Target Field.

Simeon Woods Richardson struck out a career-high 11 over six innings and Austin Martin drove in four runs to lead the Minnesota Twins over the New York Yankees 7-0.

BOTTOM LINE: The New York Liberty and the Minnesota Lynx face off in a matchup between the WNBA's top two offenses. The Liberty are 13-3 on their home court. New York is the WNBA leader averaging 9.7 made 3-pointers per game while shooting 35.3% from deep.
