Here are some nuggets from Yankees’ spring training on Monday:
Blank Slate
Tanner Tully, a 28-year-old who debuted last season with the Guardians, got the start and threw 2 ²/₃ scoreless innings in the 1-0 loss to the Twins at Hammond Stadium.
The soft-tossing southpaw has not been scored upon in 5 ²/₃ Grapefruit League innings.
Time’s Up
Jake Bauers, a 27-year-old first baseman, struck out on a pitch-clock violation.
He apparently was not ready and in the batter’s box at the 8-second mark of the pitch clock.
After he was called out, he remained in the box for a few moments in disbelief.
Caught My Eye
With Kyle Farmer on first base in the fourth inning, Deivi Garcia threw a pitchout, anticipating a steal attempt that didn’t come.
With the new rules that encourage more action on the basepaths, the pitchout might make a comeback this season.
Tuesday’s schedule
Gerrit Cole is expected to make the start against the Blue Jays at Steinbrenner Field.
