Open Thread: February 14th Camp Notes

The second day of Spring Training is in the books. Aaron Judge held a press conference today and said his surgically repaired left shoulder is doing well. He’s taking batting practice and is on track to be ready for Opening Day. The Yankees won’t rush him into Grapefruit League games, however. Also, without actually saying it, Judge more or less admitted the shoulder really bothered him last year during his slump. Not surprising. Here are some photos from today and here are the rest of the day’s notes:

• Bryan Hoch has the day’s workout groups. Masahiro Tanaka, Jordan Montgomery, Dellin Betances, and Adam Warren were among those to throw bullpen sessions. Here’s video of Tanaka, Betances, Justus Sheffield, and Chance Adams throwing.
• CC Sabathia rolled his left ankle during a fielding drill and had it wrapped when he left the park. “I’m good,” he said. Brian Cashman said it’s not a concern. Phew. [George King]
• Sheffield and Sabathia are locker neighbors and Sheffield said the two kept in touch over the winter. Sabathia is teaching him to backdoor his slider to righties. Also, Adams said he’s working on his changeup and fastball command this spring. [Kuty, Mike Mazzeo]
• Albert Abreu, who had an emergency appendectomy last week, is already back in camp. He expects to begin working out next week. [Marly Rivera]

This is the open thread for the night. The Knicks and Nets are playing, there’s are a bunch of college hoops game on as well, and the Olympics are still going on. Talk about anything that isn’t religion or politics here. Thanks in advance.
