Today’s MLB Lineups: Full projected batting orders and starting pitchers for Red Sox, Yankees, Reds & more | 15 April 2025

April 15th is more than just another day on the MLB calendar and it's a day that goes beyond baseball. All players, coaches, and umpires will wear number 42 on their jerseys today in honor of Jackie Robinson and the historic occasion on which he broke the league's color barrier in 1947.

There’s a certain energy around Jackie Robinson Day, a mix of respect, reflection, and an unspoken understanding that what we’re watching is rooted in something deeper than wins and losses.

As that iconic number fills stadiums across the country, a full slate of high-stakes matchups is lined up with Yankees vs. Royals in the Bronx, Dodgers clashing with the Rockies in LA, and more.
