August 9, 2026 MLB Confirmed Lineups

2 games · 2 confirmed · Updated Aug 9, 11:22 AM ET

The Almanac's Take

Coverage is thin — two games on the board and only partial lineups posted for each, with no home side confirmed for the Reds game and no away side for Boston. On what's available, the most interesting wrinkle is Willson Contreras hitting cleanup for the Red Sox with a .906 OPS and 23 home runs, flanked by Andruw Monasterio at five (.859 OPS, 6 HR) — a mid-lineup pairing worth watching if the top of the order gets going. Cincinnati's De La Cruz leads off at .859 OPS with 20 HR, and Sal Stewart right behind him at .812 OPS and 25 HR gives that Reds 1-2 some real thump.
