Yanks to start C Higashioka, sit Sánchez in wild-card opener

Slumping slugger Gary Sanchez will be benched in favor of Kyle Higashioka in the New York Yankees lineup for their wild-card opener Tuesday night. Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed Monday that Higashioka would catch ace Gerrit Cole to start the best-of-three series against the Cleveland Indians. With Giancarlo Stanton set to start at designated hitter, Sanchez - a two-time All-Star - won't crack the starting lineup and will instead be available to pinch-hit when the Yankees face Cleveland ace Shane Bieber.
