Matt Holliday, Chase Headley getting breathers as Yankees battle Reds

New York Yankees designated hitter Matt Holliday and third baseman Chase Headley are not in Tuesday's lineup against the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Holliday is sitting with the designated hitter unavailable under National League rules. Headley will get a day to clear his head after going 0-for-10 with four strikeouts over the last two games. Ronald Torreyes is starting at third base and hitting eighth versus right-hander Tim Adelman and the Reds.

The Yankees are currently first in numberFire's MLB Team Power Rankings. Our models project them to finish the year with a 90-72 record while giving them a 6.4 percent chance of winning the World Series.
