Nationals' Riley Adams: Back in lineup Thursday

Mets' Francisco Alvarez: Sitting Thursday

Austin Wells C | NYY
Yankees' Austin Wells: Produces team's lone run in loss
Wells went 1-for-4 with a solo home run Wednesday in a loss to the Tigers.
Wells' eighth-inning homer was merely a consolation in keeping the Yankees from being shut out, as it made the score 8-1 in favor of Detroit. Nonetheless, it was a positive sign for the alertness of Wells' bat, as he had gone 1-for-12 over his previous 16 plate appearances. Wells has an unremarkable .715 OPS on the campaign, but he's been a good source of power from the catcher position with 21 homers and 66 RBI through 113 contests.
