ARLINGTON, Texas — The Yankees might finally be able to display what their playoff lineup will look like, starting today.

Catcher Gary Sanchez and designated hitter/first baseman Edwin Encarnacion each will play in the first game of their series against the Rangers at Globe Life Park, manager Aaron Boone said on WFAN radio on Thursday.

Neither has played since they each got hurt against the Tigers in Detroit on Sept. 12.

Sanchez has been recovering from a groin strain. Encarnacion has been nursing a left oblique strain.

“Hopefully they get through this weekend and benefit from having the live at-bats and getting a few games before the playoffs,” Boone said.

Sanchez will catch “four or five” innings Friday, Boone said, and might play one more game this weekend. The regular season ends Sunday. The Yankees will likely host the Twins in the American League Division Series on Friday.

Encarnacion will probably play in all three games, Boone said.

“The way I look at it, with Edwin back and healthy and strong, I very much envision him in the middle of our lineup, probably as the DH” through the playoffs, Boone said. “He can play first too but I do envision Edwin in there.”

Sanchez and Encarnacion each worked out before the Yankees pair of losses against the Rays at Tropicana Field this week.

Encarnacion has 34 home runs, 86 RBI and a .875 OPS in 418 at-bats. Sanchez has 34 bombs and 77 RBI with a .840 OPS in 390 at-bats.

Boone added that James Paxton will start Friday, Luis Severino will start Saturday and Masahiro Tanaka will pitch “in some form or another” Sunday, which means the veteran could come out of the bullpen in the regular season for the first time in his big-league career.

Giancarlo Stanton will play in the outfield “for at least a couple” games this weekend, Boone said.
