New York Yankees (88-64) at Arizona Diamondbacks (80-73) — Game Preview
The New York Yankees (88-64) visit the Arizona Diamondbacks (80-73) at Chase Field on September 18, 2026, with the Yankees five games back in the AL East and Arizona 13 games back in the NL West. New York has out-slugged Arizona all season, hitting 209 home runs as a team compared to the Diamondbacks’ 154, and the Yankees’ pitching staff has been just as sharp with a 3.19 team ERA against a 4.09 mark for Arizona. Ben Rice has been the engine of that power surge, hitting .262 with 38 home runs and 92 RBIs as New York’s primary designated hitter. Arizona counters from behind the plate, where Gabriel Moreno is hitting .307 with 75 RBIs and a .485 slugging percentage, rare offensive production for a catcher on a team out of playoff contention.
Cody Bellinger adds balance to the Yankees lineup in left field, hitting .276 with a .351 on-base percentage and a .444 slugging mark, while Nolan Arenado supplies Arizona’s other source of thump with 26 home runs and 74 RBIs at third base. The Yankees are still fighting for playoff positioning down the stretch while the Diamondbacks play out the final weeks of a season that has already slipped out of the division race.

Players to Watch: New York Yankees vs. Arizona Diamondbacks
New York Yankees
Ben Rice — DH. Rice has emerged as New York’s primary power source at designated hitter, hitting .262 with 38 home runs and 92 RBIs this season. That kind of run production in the middle of the order gives the Yankees a threat capable of changing a game with one swing.
Cody Bellinger — LF. Bellinger holds down left field for the Yankees, hitting .276 as one of the club’s more consistent bats in a lineup built around power. His .351 on-base percentage and .444 slugging mark give New York balance up and down the order even when he isn’t going deep.
Arizona Diamondbacks
Gabriel Moreno — C. Moreno anchors the Diamondbacks behind the plate, hitting .307 with 75 RBIs and a .485 slugging percentage this season. He adds a .385 on-base percentage, production that stands out for a catcher on a club otherwise buried in the standings.
Nolan Arenado — 3B. Arenado continues to provide thump at third base, hitting 26 home runs and driving in 74 runs even as Arizona’s season has slipped out of contention. His .243 average shows the power has come without much of a batting-average payoff, but the Diamondbacks still lean on him as a middle-of-the-order presence.
