The New York Yankees, facing elimination in Game 4 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, made strategic lineup changes to enhance their chances. Giancarlo Stanton was moved from the cleanup position to fifth, swapping places with Jazz Chisholm Jr. This adjustment aims to create a better left-right balance in the batting order, especially against the Dodgers' bullpen.

Despite Stanton's impressive postseason stats, the decision to move him down could impact his performance. Meanwhile, rookie catcher Austin Wells was included in the lineup after not starting in Game 2, although he has struggled significantly in the playoffs. The Yankees are attempting to become the first team to overcome a 3-0 deficit in World Series history.
