NEW YORK -- Facing the prospect of going down 3-0 in the American League Championship Series, the Yankees are shuffling up their lineup.
Facing Houston Astros right-hander Cristian Javier, New York will lead off with first baseman Anthony Rizzo, move Harrison Bader down from the leadoff spot to No. 6, start Oswaldo Cabrera at shortstop, shift Giancarlo Stanton to left field and slide Matt Carpenter into the designated hitter role.
