Bollinger (L, 0-1, 4.00) 4 IP, 3 R, 3 H, 1 W, 2 K.
Espinal 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 3 K. 3.18
O. Perez 1 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 0 W, 2 K. 3.00

AA: Trenton (12-9) had their game suspended with Trenton up 3-0 in the third. Wet grounds.

High A: Tampa (14-10) won 9-5. LF Clint Frazier 2 hits, solo HR. CF Estevan Florial 3 hits. DH Adam Lind 3 hits, HR, 2 RBI. 1B Brandon Wagner 2 hits, 2 RBI. RF Isiah Gilliam 2 hits, HR, 2 RBI. 2B Diego Castillo 2 hits.

S.T. Game 14. Sanchez, Gray, good, but Yanks fall 3-1.

The Yanks only got three hits tonight, two by Gary Sanchez (one a HR) in losing to the Braves, 3-1.

The loss puts the Yanks spring training record at 10-4.

Sonny Gray started and pitched great, giving up just one hit in 3 2/3 scoreless innings.

The Braves got a run in the fifth and Sanchez tied it in the top of the sixth with his HR.

Atlanta got two in the seventh for the game.

Spring training stats mean nothing, for someone hot in spring training could get cold to start the season and vice-versa, but Greg Bird needs to get it together. 0 for 4 tonight, 3 strikeouts, and only .095 so far in spring training.

It looks as if Tyler Wade will win the 2B job. Gleyber Torres, who hasn’t played much above High A, and who missed 1/2 of last year because of an injury, probably needs to go to AAA to shake off some rust. He’s at .150 this spring training.

Gray 3 2/3 IP, 0 R, 1 H, 2 W, 3 K.
Kahnle 2/3 IP, 1 R, 1 H, 1 W, 1 K.
Shreve 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 2 K
Hale (L) 1 2/3 IP, 2 R, 1 ER, 5 H, 1 W, 2 K.
Holder 1 IP, 0 R, 0 H, 0 W, 2 K.

The Yanks made a couple more cuts. INF Thairo Estrada, recovering from a gunshot wound due to a botched robbery attempt, and didn’t play in any spring training games, was sent to minor league camp, as was RHP Albert Abreu, recovering from having his appendix removed.

Also sent down was RHP Jonathan Loaisiga.

First full squad workout today.

Position players had their physicals yesterday, and the first full squad workout will be held today. The first spring training game is scheduled for this Friday.

Aaron Judge, coming off shoulder surgery, will be taking it slow in the beginning.

A couple of prospects may miss a lot of spring training time as well, and maybe some of the beginning of the season, too.

I mentioned Thairo Estrada, shot in the hip during a botched robbery attempt in Venezuela in late January.

Just a few weeks ago, pitcher Albert Abreu had to undergo an emergency appendectomy. So he is recovering from that.

Gary Sanchez literally knocked the cover off of one ball in batting practice yesterday.

There is still talk and rumors of another deal, which I can’t see happening, especially in regards to 3B Mike Moustakas.

For one thing, Moustakas would put the Yanks over the cap, and the Yanks are adamant about not exceeding it.

For another, signing him would cost the Yanks a 2nd and 5th round pick in the draft, and $1MM in international bonus money.

For another, why sign him when all indications appear that the Yanks are going full bore for Machado next year, and that Machado wants to come to NY (but he also wants to play SS, and the Yanks already have Didi there)?

For another, what of young Miguel Andujar, currently considered untouchable?  Not only for this year, but for the future?

It does appear as if the Yanks will let it ride for now, and adjust later at the trade deadline.

For all the talk about Judge, Stanton, Didi, and Sanchez, don’t forget about Greg Bird. I’m just hoping he can stay healthy. Don’t forget about him and his potential.

As for Ellsbury, at least the Yanks still have him in case anything happens to Hicks. That contract of Ellsbury’s remains an albatross, however.

Waiting for some games to start!

 

Yanks’ prospect to miss time w/appendix surgery

Yanks’ prospect Albert Abreu will miss the first part of the season with appendix surgery.

Abreu was expected to start 2018 at AA Trenton.
