The Mets and Yankees posted their lineups for subway series 2026 at Citi Field, and first pitch was set for 1:40pm EDT on May 17, 2026. The game will be on SNY and on Audacy Mets Radio WHSQ 880AM, the Audacy App, and 92.3 HD2.
For the Mets, Carson Benge was in right field, Bo Bichette at shortstop, Juan Soto at designated hitter, Mark Vientos at first base, MJ Melendez in left field, Brett Baty at third base, Marcus Semien at second base, A.J. Ewing in center field, and Hayden Senger at catcher. Freddy Peralta was slated to be behind them in the matchup, which gave the Citi Field leg of the Subway Series a marquee pitching edge.
Mets Order at Citi Field
Benge led off the visible lineup from right field, with Bichette handling shortstop and Soto set at designated hitter. Vientos, Melendez, Baty, Semien, Ewing, and Senger filled out the rest of the Mets’ order and fielding alignment as posted for the game.
Ewing’s spot in center field stood out in the posted card, while Senger was listed behind the plate. The arrangement gave the Mets a mix of established names and younger pieces in a rivalry game that had the lineup card ready well before first pitch.
Yankees Lineup Card
The Yankees answered with Trent Grisham in center field, Ben Rice at first base, Aaron Judge at designated hitter, Cody Bellinger in left field, Jazz Chisholm at second base, Ryan McMahon at third base, Spencer Jones in right field, Anthony Volpe at shortstop, and J.C. Escarra at catcher. Judge’s placement at DH kept him in the middle of the order without a defensive assignment.
That setup gave the Yankees a full card across the outfield and infield, with Volpe at shortstop and Escarra catching. Grisham, Rice, Bellinger, Chisholm, McMahon, and Jones filled the rest of the listed spots around Judge.
