Via Andrew Marchand, Curtis Granderson will be in the starting lineup for Opening Day tomorrow. The center fielder had been battling an oblique issue, but he came through yesterday’s and today’s workouts in Tampa just fine and will play Thursday. I like Chris Dickerson, but yeah, I want the Grandyman in there, so this is great news.
Joe Girardi has already announced that Brett Gardner will leadoff tomorrow, and the rest of the lineup will look pretty standard: Derek Jeter bats second, and will be followed by Mark Teixeira, Alex Rodriguez, Robbie Cano, Nick Swisher, Jorge Posada, Grandy, and Russell Martin. Just hope the rain goes away.
