NEW YORK -- Yankees manager Aaron Boone's lineup for all three of this week's Red Sox games had Andrew McCutchen leading off and playing left field.
Brett Gardner was on the bench for all three.
The Red Sox starting two left-handers was just part of the reason why the righty-swinging McCutchen played and the lefty-hitting Gardner sat.
Also heavily factoring in was McCutchen's on-base percentage and power in his first three weeks as a Yankee plus Gardner having a down season and currently mired in a long slump.
Is this what we'll see from the Yankees from here on out this season and into the postseason?
