Listed here are some nuggets from Yankees’ spring training on Tuesday:
Big relief!
Clay Holmes and Jonathan Loaisiga each worked an ideal inning of relief, combining for five strikeouts in what the Yankees hope was a preview of how the late innings could look in the course of the regular season.
Field of screams
Anthony Volpe wasn’t charged together with his first fielding error of the spring, but one might have been warranted after the shortstop missed a tough one-hopper to his left within the fourth inning.
Caught my eye
The Yankees’ starting outfield included Isiah Kiner-Falefa in left field and Aaron Judge in center, the primary start for each players at those respective positions this spring.
It continued Kiner-Falefa’s trend toward becoming a utility player, after starting in center field on Friday, while Judge could see more time in center early within the season until Harrison Bader comes off the injured list.
Wednesday’s schedule
The Yankees head to the opposite coast of Florida for a two-game trip, starting with a 1:05 p.m. exhibition against the Nationals with Clarke Schmidt on the mound.
