TAMPA — A coach coming to the mound previously led to one of Carlos Rodon's worst moments as a Yankee. On Monday, the scene served as a feel-good moment, as much as it could for a spring training game. Rodon had just thrown his 72nd and final pitch across 5 ²/₃ no-hit innings against the Phillies when Joe Torre, a special guest at camp for a few days, began his walk out to the mound to take the ball. 3 Yankees starting pitcher Carlos Rodon (55) throws a pitch against the Philadelphia Phillies in the second inning at George M.

It's hard to tell what was most unusual about last season in the AL East. Baltimore and Tampa Bay took the top two spots in the division, the first time that had ever happened. The AL East has changed a lot from the days when the big-market behemoths would overpower the rest of the division. Tampa Bay has been a formidable operation for a while now, and the Orioles capped a swift rise from the depths of a rebuild, winning 101 games and a division title in 2023.

Former All-Star Could Be Option For Yankees With Batting Champion Ailing The New York Yankees might need to make a move to bolster their infield with their batting champion injured. Author: Pat Ragazzo Publish date: Mar 18, 2024 8:00 PM EDT In this story: New York Yankees Josh Harrison DJ LeMahieu The New York Yankees have two crucial areas of their roster to button up before Opening Day in the starting rotation and the infield. It has been highly publicized that AL Cy Young ace Gerrit Cole will miss at least 1-2 months with an elbow injury.

TAMPA — Oswaldo Cabrera might be the Yankees' primary backup shortstop. He might be the primary backup at first base — and could even start at third base — if DJ LeMahieu's foot injury leaks into the season. He can play second if need be. He surely will find time at some point in the outfield, where he primarily played last season. Yankees shortstop Oswaldo Cabrera throws to first base during a fourth inning double play in a spring training. AP The Yankees sure seem to need Cabrera's glove, which makes signs of his bat coming to life all the more encouraging for the team. Cabrera, who did not hit well last season and has not hit well for much of the Grapefruit League season, smacked his first

Trevor Bauer says he will pitch for Mexican team Diablos Rojos in their Sunday exhibition game with the New York Yankees. The 2020 NL Cy Young Award winner is attempting to return to Major League Baseball for the first time in three years following his lengthy suspension by MLB and release from the Los Angeles Dodgers after a women accused him of sexual assault. Bauer, 33, said Monday in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that he has also agreed to pitch five games for Diablos Rojos from April 11 to May 8 "in lieu of a traditional spring training period as it's the best way for me to stay ready to pitch."

Depth on the pitcher's mound might be an issue for the New York Yankees but behind the plate, that certainly does not appear to be an issue. “It's certainly an area of depth; everybody's done a great job of showcasing their abilities, not just for us but for others,” Yankees GM Brian Cashman said. Right now, the competition is steep with Jose Trevino trying to cement a spot on the Opening Day roster with Austin Wells and Ben Rortvedt lurking. This spring training, which was delayed by a calf injury, his numbers are .231/.214/.676 through four games.
