Stored lineups for a match
Home and away lineup entries from the best stored lineup data available for the match. MLB responses include player names, positions, jersey numbers and starter flags, including starting pitcher identification. MLB lineups (baseball) and NHL lineups (ice hockey) require the Edge plan or higher. Access for every other sport on this shared route is unchanged, including the soccer and cricket lineups served on Free. Coverage is partial, so matches without lineup data return empty arrays with meta.available=false and a coverage note. NHL (ice hockey) entries are a POST-GAME record and are never a pre-game projection. A match gains entries only after it has been played: they are the dressed skaters, both dressed goalies and the scratches, and starter is true for the one goalie per side who actually started the game. That is not a confirmed or projected pre-game starting goalie, and no tier returns one before puck drop. NHL entries also carry no forward-line number, no defence pairing and no power-play unit membership, because the upstream record does not express them.
