Kyle Higashioka to start Game One Tuesday

Kyle Higashioka has carved out a role for himself as Gerrit Cole's personal catcher. He will get the nod behind the plate in Game One, which means Gary Sanchez will likely ride the pine with Giancarlo Stanton DHing and Clint Frazier in left field. (Bryan Hoch on Twitter)
Fantasy Impact:
Higashioka gets the pleasure of facing off against Shane Bieber in his first ever playoff start. He was a superior hitter to Gary Sanchez in the regular season but the Yankees will likely turn back to Sanchez for Game Two. Higashioka is not a recommended DFS play.
