Duvall, despite recent struggles at bat, boasts a 160 wRC+ against left-handed pitchers this season, explaining his return to the lineup. Ramon Laureano will start in right field and bat eighth.
Giancarlo Stanton has been placed on the injured list due to a strained hamstring ahead of Sunday’s game. Consequently, Aaron Judge will serve as the designated hitter. Trent Grisham, who hit a home run on Saturday, will start in center field and bat ninth.
