CLEVELAND (AP) — The New York Yankees tweaked their starting lineup for Game 4 of the AL Division Series, benching shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa and starting Aaron Hicks in left field as they try to keep their season alive. Rookie Oswaldo Cabrera, who started the first three games of the series in left, replaced Kiner-Falefa at shortstop. Cleveland leads the best-of-five series 2-1. Game 5, if necessary, would be Monday night at Yankee Stadium. Yankees manager Aaron Boone says the decision to sit Kiner-Falefa was mostly driven by him not playing with his usual confidence.
