The game is a makeup of a rainout from August 14. The two teams were already scheduled to play at 1:05 p.m ET, so now a night game will be added to the schedule.

Derek Jeter (knee) expects to play Tuesday night against the Red Sox.
Jeter sat out his second straight game Monday with a right knee contusion. We have heard reports that he could be sidelined for the duration of the Boston series, but the hot-hitting shortstop is apparently making quick progress. Jeter will likely be reevaluated Tuesday afternoon before Joe Girardi officially puts him on the lineup card.

Derek Jeter (knee) is not in Monday's lineup against the Orioles.
As expected. Jeter will miss his second straight game Monday with a right knee contusion and could be sidelined for the entire upcoming series against the Red Sox, as well. Eduardo Nunez will start in his place at shortstop Monday night.

According to Bob Nightengale of USA Today, the Yankees believe Derek Jeter (knee) will miss "several games."
Jeter bruised his knee in the first half of Sunday's doubleheader against the Orioles and was unable to play in the night contest. He could be sidelined for the Yankees' entire three-game series against the Red Sox that begins this Tuesday and ends this Thursday. Eduardo Nunez will presumably fill in at shortstop.

Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Derek Jeter (knee) is unlikely to play on Monday.
Jeter was scratched from Sunday night's nightcap of a doubleheader against Baltimore with a right knee contusion he suffered in Game One after fouling a ball off his knee. Eduardo Nunez would draw the start at short if he misses more time.
