Observations from Yankees’ spring training on Monday:
Let’s review
With the help of ABS, Ryan Yarbrough went from having two runners on base to being out of a jam, just with one tap of the cap.
The lefty’s 3-2 pitch to Oneil Cruz was called Ball 4, but Yarbrough challenged it and was proven right, with the overturned call marking Strike 3 for the third out of the inning.
Life’s a switch
Batting from the left side, Jasson Domínguez poked an RBI double to right field against right-hander Tyrone Yulie in the second inning.
But then in his first chances to face a lefty this spring his next two at-bats, Domínguez struck out from the right side both times.
Caught my eye
Max Schuemann started Monday’s game in right field, displaying some defensive versatility that could aid his case to make the Yankees Opening Day roster if Oswaldo Cabrera isn’t ready in time.
The righty bat, acquired from the A’s at the start of camp, is known as a strong defensive infielder but also has some experience in the outfield.
Tuesday’s schedule
Will Warren will make his spring debut, starting against the Blue Jays in Dunedin, Fla.
