Jacoby Ellsbury had two hits and Didi Gregorius had three. Mark Teixeira smashed a double while Alex Rodriguez, Brian McCann, and Chris Denorfia had one single apiece. The Yankees scored all seven runs with two outs. Pretty nice day for the bats. Here’s the box score, here are the video highlights, and here are the day’s notes from camp:
- Slow day at the complex today. Michael Pineda, James Kaprielian, and Ivan Nova threw bullpen sessions and Jacob Lindgren faced hitters in a simulated game. Lindgren was originally scheduled to pitch in this afternoon’s game, but he ended up pitching in Wednesday’s extra innings game against the Mets, which threw his schedule out of whack. [Chad Jennings]
- The upcoming rotation: Luis Severino (Saturday on TV), CC Sabathia with Pineda coming out of the bullpen (Sunday on TV), Monday is an off-day, Nova (Tuesday on TV), and Nathan Eovaldi (Wednesday on TV). [Bryan Hoch]
- Brett Gardner (wrist) is tentatively scheduled to play in his first spring game next Wednesday. He’s going to take some live batting practice in the coming days. [Ryan Hatch]
- Among the players scheduled to make tomorrow’s 100-mile road trip to Port Charlotte to play the Rays are Carlos Beltran, Dustin Ackley, Aaron Hicks, Gary Sanchez, Jorge Mateo, and Rob Refsnyder. [Jennings, Hatch]
- The Yankees haven’t said anything official, but I have to think the first round of roster cuts is coming soon. Other teams are already making cuts, and soon the regulars will need more playing time. Tomorrow might be our last chance to see Mateo until next spring.
This is the nightly open thread. This afternoon’s game will be replayed on YES after tonight’s Nets game, so figure it’ll start at 10-10:30pm ET, somewhere around there. MLB Network will show a bunch of non-Yankees games on tape delay throughout the night. The Knicks (and Nets) are playing, and there’s lots and lots of college hoops on the schedule as well as we approach the tournament. Talk about anything here except politics and religion. Please and thank you.
