MLB Lineups Today: Complete batting orders and starting pitchers for Padres vs. Yankees, Reds vs. Braves & more | 7 May 2025

The MLB calendar rolls into Wednesday with heavyweight pitching matchups and streaks on the line. All eyes turn to the Yankee Stadium, where Dylan Cease faces undefeated Max Fried, as the Padres aim to cool down the Yankees’ recent surge. Both clubs are navigating injury hiccups, making tonight’s lineups especially intriguing.

Down south in Atlanta, flame-thrower Hunter Greene looks to snap Cincinnati’s losing skid against the Braves’ Grant Holmes, who’s quietly stabilizing Atlanta’s rotation. With several afternoon games on tap and star hitters heating up across the league, today promises another wave of surprises as team standings continue to shift.
