Open Thread: 3/2 Camp Notes

Yanks open exhibition schedule, crush USF 11-0
Update: Cashman denies offer to Adonis Garcia
Beisbol!

The Yankees completely manhandled the University of South Florida earlier today, but that’s not all that happened in Tampa. Here’s the latest…

  • Robinson Cano will not play in tomorrow’s game against the Phillies as planned. He missed a few days this week due to his grandmother’s death and Joe Girardi wants to give him some more time to get back into the swing of things. [Marc Carig]
  • Joba Chamberlain and Mariano Rivera both threw bullpen sessions today. Joba threw 25 fastballs, and afterward he and pitching coach Larry Rothschild spoke to Dr. James Andrews to discuss the right-hander’s progress coming back from Tommy John surgery. [George King]
  • Both Rafael Soriano and David Robertson threw live batting practice this morning while George Kontos played catch for the first time since tweaking his oblique. Michael Pineda and CC Sabathia are throwing bullpens tomorrow as tuneups for their starts on Monday and Tuesday, respectively. Phil Hughes will throw a sim game tomorrow and follow Sabathia on Tuesday. [Chad Jennings]
  • Derek Jeter, Curtis Granderson, Raul Ibanez, Nick Swisher, Brett Gardner, and Eduardo Nunez are all on the travel list for tomorrow’s Grapefruit League opener. Ivan Nova gets the start. [Carig]
  • Non-Yankee Injury News: A.J. Burnett has successful surgery on his orbital bone this morning and should be back by mid-June. There was no muscle or nerve damage and he did not have double vision. That both sucks and is good news. [Tom Singer & Rob Biertempfel]
  • Non-Yankee Non-Injury News: Jesus Montero had an eventful day for the Mariners. He reached base on an error, dropped a routine pop-up behind the plate, homered to dead center, then left the game after taking a foul ball to the throat. [all Geoff Baker links]

Here’s tonight’s open thread. The Rangers, Devils, and Nets are all playing tonight, so talk about those games or anything else. Go nuts.
