Jacoby Ellsbury (oblique) and Clint Frazier (concussion) are in Tampa rehabbing. Billy McKinney (shoulder) will miss a few weeks with a sprain. Adam Warren (ankle) has a bruise after being hit by a comebacker. Gio Gallegos (groin) will start the season on the disabled list.
• Miguel Andujar was called up to replace McKinney, who replaced Hicks. The Yankees are looking at April 24th as a target date to use a spot sixth starter. Rule 5 Draft pick Jose Mesa Jr. was returned by the Orioles. The Yankees signed Oliver Perez to a minor league contract.
• By our calculations, the Yankees have approximately $13.5M left to spend under the $197M luxury tax threshold. They opened the season with a $167M actual payroll, seventh highest in baseball and their lowest since 2003.
• Today’s home opener has been snowed out. The game will be made up tomorrow afternoon.
