The Athletics, having slumped with a 13-34 record since their previous encounter with the Yankees in Sacramento, will face a Yankees team that has also struggled recently. Will Warren will start for the Yankees after a strong outing in their last meeting. Ben Rice will catch, filling in for J.C. Escarra, who is on leave. The Athletics' Mitch Spence, formerly a Yankee prospect, starts for Oakland.
The Yankees are returning home to face the Athletics, aiming to capitalize on Oakland's slumping performance of 13-34 since their last meeting.

Ben Rice is getting another start behind the plate for the Yankees, filling in as J.C. Escarra is on paternity leave but is expected back on Sunday.
The Athletics' Mitch Spence, a former Yankee prospect, has transitioned to the starting rotation and will be making his start against the Yankees tonight.
