Pardon our delay on the game thread this afternoon! It’s spring training for all of us, but we did want to get one set up in case anyone wanted to chime in on the Yanks/Phils road matchup today.
Luis Gil will aim to build on his much more impressive last time out in comparison to what came before this spring. He went three shutout innings against the Red Sox at Fenway South, striking out six and allowing two hits and two walks on 56 pitches. Gil is probably making the rotation regardless given the health of the Yankees’ rotation, but they’ll have much more confidence in his ability to stick if he pitches like that.
The Yankees’ road lineup today features just one surefire regular in first baseman Ben Rice, though Jasson Domínguez will follow him and bat second, manning left field. Top prospects George Lombard Jr. and Spencer Jones will have prominent roles in today’s starting nine as well.
