Holliday (knee) will lead off and play second base Friday against the Yankees, Jacob Calvin Meyer of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Kyle Harrison SP | BOS
Red Sox's Kyle Harrison: In line for another start
Harrison is slated to start Friday's game against the Tigers in Boston.
Harrison stepped in as Boston's fifth starter last weekend at Tampa Bay and aced the test, striking out five while allowing one earned run on four hits and two walks across six innings in a no-decision. The southpaw will be rewarded with another turn through the rotation Friday, and another strong showing could help his case for earning a spot on Boston's postseason roster, should the Red Sox clinch a playoff spot.
