The San Francisco Giants are kicking off the 2026 MLB season with a special honor: hosting the New York Yankees for a one-game Opening Day showdown in the Bay Area. With first pitch set for just after 8 p.m.
ET (5 p.m. PT), fans are buzzing with anticipation.
The Giants are entering the season mostly healthy, ready to showcase a solid core of players. They’re aiming to start off strong with a 1-0 record.
Here’s how the Giants are lining up against Yankees lefty Max Fried:
- Luis Arraez at second base
- Matt Chapman at third base
- Rafael Devers as the designated hitter
- Willy Adames at shortstop
- Jung Hoo Lee in right field
- Heliot Ramos in left field
- Casey Schmitt at first base
- Patrick Bailey behind the plate
- Harrison Bader in center field
A minor spring training setback has Rafael Devers starting as DH, but he's ready to make an impact.
Taking the mound for San Francisco is their ace, Logan Webb. Known for his dominant performances over recent seasons, Webb is fresh off an impressive stint with Team USA at the World Baseball Classic. He’s poised to challenge a formidable Yankees lineup, with the baseball world watching closely.
