chirorob Posted March 19, 2015 Share Posted March 19, 2015 Jacoby Ellsbury went for an MRI and has been diagnosed with a low grade oblique strain, the Yankees announced. He’ll be shut down for the next seven days. Opening Day is 18 days away now, so there’s still time for Ellsbury to rest, heal up, and get ready for the start of the season. Any sort of setback might force him to start the regular season on the DL, however. Just shut him down until it is 100%. I don't care if he misses the first 2 weeks, let it heal 100%. Not 95%, all the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Nathan Eovaldi threw a simulated game afternoon. I’m not sure how many innings or anything like that, though I would guess it was four or five innings or so. Esmil Rogers is starting tonight and he’s competing for a rotation spot. Eovaldi isn’t, hence the simulated game to get work in. CC Sabathia, Michael Pineda, Andrew Miller, Justin Wilson, and Bryan Mitchell were among those to throw bullpen sessions.

Jetlife33 Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Also, tonight’s game is your last chance to see the Yankees for a while. There will be no video broadcast for either Friday’s game or Saturday’s game. No YES, no MLB.tv, nothing. Next time we’ll see the Yankees after tonight is Sunday, when CC Sabathia faces Matt Harvey in Port St. Lucie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you head over to Riveraveblues.com there's a great piece on Eovaldis 2015 season preview by Mike Axisa that was posted today. I'm excited as well. As for Rogers, I agree with you. Despite Rogers strong spring I've been rooting for Warren to win the 5th starters job, he's been equally as good, minus a few K's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 I've been so impressed with Didi Gregorious this spring. His defense which is heavily documented is really, really good. Not only that but I like his approach at the plate. He's taking a lot of pitches, working some walks and elevating the pitchers pitch count. He just worked the count 3-2, fouled multiple pitches off and singled up the middle vs a lefty pitcher which is noted as his Achilles heel. I hope this guy continues with this approach as the season starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlife33 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Yankees tie the game at 3. Single by Didi, a walk by G.I. Jones and an RBI single by Carlos Beltran. All 3 have been pinch run for here in the 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 UPDATE, 1:15 p.m.: First time at the plate all spring, Brendan Ryan works a legitimately impressive at-bat and lines a hard RBI double to left field. Brian McCann just followed with a hard single to center and it’s a 2-0 Yankees lead before making an out. Alfredo Simon being knocked around so far.

Jetlife33 Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 UPDATE, 2:35 p.m.: Alex Rodriguez just hit his second home run of the spring. He got it just over the wall in right field (went opposite field). It must have hit something on the other side of the wall, because something about the way the ball reacted after it cleared the fence made Rodriguez think it might have hit the wall. He retreated for a bit, then continued around the bases. It was weird, but it was a homer, and Rodriguez heard a lot of boos — mixed with plenty of cheers — as he rounded the bases.

Jetlife33 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 • CC Sabathia is making the trip to Port St. Lucie tomorrow, which seems like an unusually long trip for a veteran like Sabathia. He said the idea is to let him get into a competitive situation since he missed so much time last season. Might have stayed back to pitch a simulated game most springs, but this year Sabathia’s happy to get the game action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 • Speaking of Mitchell, he’s making the trip to face the Nationals on Monday. The Yankees haven’t announced a starter for that day, but it seems a smart bet that Mitchell will get the ball that day. Davies is also on that trip, but Girardi has said he wants to give Mitchell another start, so I’m guessing that will happen on Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetlife33 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 Andrew Bailey is making his second spring training appearance. He pitched an inning against the Braves earlier this week. … Michael Pineda has looked awfully sharp so far this spring. Seems like he could be an Opening Day alternative should either CC Sabathia or Masahiro Tanaka need an extra day or two before making their season debut. … Backup catcher candidates Austin Romine and John Ryan Murphy are each getting turns at DH today.

Jetlife33 Posted March 21, 2015 Author Share Posted March 21, 2015 UPDATE, 1:14 p.m.: So Michael Pineda’s day is off to a rough start. He allowed a one-out triple and a two-run homer in the first inning. The highlight of the whole thing is that Chris Young very nearly robbed the homer, but in the process, his glove fell off his hand and landed on the other side of the wall. Brett Gardner ran over from left field, climbed over the wall, threw the glove back over the wall — threw the ball, too — then climbed back over.
