Today’s MLB Lineups: Full projected batting orders and starting pitchers for Guardians, Yankees, Mets & more | 17 April 2025

With nearly three weeks of drama already in the books, the 2025 MLB season does not indicate that it is slowing down anytime soon. Contenders are beginning to emerge and others are still feeling their way through.

With April 17 drawing near, many teams are making adjustments due to injury, early-season slumps, and unexpected breakout performances — both lineups and rotations having been shifted accordingly.

The New York Yankees, who have been dealing with injuries to some of their best pitchers like Gerrit Cole and Luis Gil, reinstated Clarke Schmidt. He had a solid return to the rotation by throwing 5.2 innings and allowing three runs.

Meanwhile, the Cleveland Guardians offer a blend of experienced players and prospects. With a starting lineup featuring Steven Kwan, Jose Ramírez and Kyle Manzardo, and a rotation led by Tanner Bibee, the team is handling roster adjustments well.

Here, we present to you the full projected batting lineups and starting pitchers for the day's action, offering some insight into how teams are looking to mix and match and what you should watch on the field.
