The New York Yankees will kick off
their grapefruit league schedule with a trip to Clearwater to take on the
Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday. They
will first have a intraquad game on Monday with a pitching machine doing the
pitching. We know that Adam Warren will
make the start on Tuesday and here are some more news and notes.
Alex Rodriguez was to DH and bat
cleanup in the intrasquad game but he will make his exhibition debut on
Wednesday at home against the Phillies.
He will not make the trip to Clearwater on Tuesday. Arod will DH and also he is expected to get
2-3 at bats in that game. Carlos Beltran
is not hurt, the Yankees are just taking it slow with him and he will not
appear in a game until Friday.
Masahiro Tanaka had his first live
BP of the spring on Monday morning and came through it fine. Joe Girardi said "He's right where we
want him to be." CC Sabathia will
face hitters for the first time later this week. Joe Girardi announced today that following
Adam Warren starting on Tuesday, Nathan Eovaldi on Wednesday and Esmil Rogers
on Thursday will be Bryan Mitchell and Chris Capuano for the split squad on
Friday. Capuano will pitch the home
game.
