Austin Romine starting at catcher for the Yankees

New York Yankees catcher Austin Romine is in the lineup on Thursday.

What It Means:

Romine will be behind the plate and batting ninth, versus the Oakland A's. His addition to the lineup moves Rob Refsynder to the bench, Aaron Judge from DH to right field, while Gary Sanchez is the DH on Thursday.

With the Yankees playing in a pitcher friendly park (.934 park factor) and Sonny Gray being a heavy groundball pitcher (1.386 groundball to flyball ratio), Romine may be in for a long night on Thursday.
