At the plate, Aaron Hicks hit a solo home run the other way against David Price, and Dustin Ackley had a pair of hits as well. Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira both went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. Cesar Puello, Cito Culver, Gary Sanchez, and Ben Gamel all had base hits off the bench. Here’s the box score, here are the video highlights, and here’s the latest from Tampa:
- Brett Gardner (wrist) played in another simulated game today and again everything went fine. He can’t remember the last time the wrist actually hurt. Gardner is scheduled to make his spring debut and get three at-bats tomorrow. [Yankees, Jack Curry]
- Luis Severino threw a 25-pitch bullpen session and worked on burying his slider and changeup in the dirt for two-strike counts. Sliders up in the zone were a problem last year. [Brendan Kuty]
- Joe Girardi said the Yankees optioned Jacob Lindgren to Triple-A the other day because they felt he was pressing. “We thought we’d give him a chance to take a breath and go get ready and pitch,” said Girardi. [Ryan Hatch]
The Yankees will play another night game tomorrow. That one will be at home against the Twins. Nathan Eovaldi will make his second start of the spring and the game will air on YES at 6:30pm ET.
