Adam Rosales starting at shortstop for Oakland

Oakland Athletics infielder Adam Rosales is starting at shortstop on Thursday.

What It Means:

Rosales is filling in for Chad Pinder, who has shifted to the outfield on Thursday with Matt Joyce get the night off due to a cut on his chin. Rosales is batting ninth versus Jordan Montgomery and the New York Yankees.

With the second-lowest park factor (.934) and implied run total (4.14), most A's hitters, Rosales included, are in line for a tough night.
