How are things shaping up for the Yankees at the start of the season? Their recently acquired third outfielder is in such a rush that he’s currently residing in a hotel room with his mother and cats in New York. With uncertainties regarding their starting pitcher for Wednesday’s game, the team is considering using a bullpen strategy.
Utility player Mike Tauchman was included in the starting lineup last night but spent a significant portion of the time in the back of an Uber, hastily making his way from Scranton to the Bronx. He eventually arrived in the seventh inning.
The New York Yankees are grappling with a multitude of injuries. Presently, they are without their top pitcher, setup relief pitcher, starting center fielder, third spot hitter, and the entire left side of their infield. Following a suspension, CC Sabathia is slated to join the injured list on Wednesday, becoming the tenth player from the Yankees to be on the injured list.
