As Team USA vies for its place in the championship game of the World Baseball Classic, it will have to get past the juggernaut that is the Dominican Republic.
The semifinals showdown will take place Sunday evening at 8 p.m. ET, and there will be a pair of notable changes to Team USA’s lineup for the elimination game. Manager Mark DeRosa has opted to shake things up, removing catcher Cal Raleigh and third baseman Alex Bregman from the starting lineup. Replacing Raleigh will be Dodgers catcher Will Smith, while Orioles infielder Gunnar Henderson will draw the start at third base in the place of Bregman.
