Yankees manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Ben Rice and Jasson Dominguez will be part of the Opening Day roster. The two remaining spots are still undecided as the Yankees seek a right-handed bat and finalize their bullpen. Rice's strong spring training contributed to his selection, while Dominguez will start as left fielder. The team is also considering other players for the bench and bullpen, awaiting potential external additions, as they prepare for their opening game against the Diamondbacks.
"I just don't want to commit to anything with too many things that go on in the industry the last 24-48 hours," Boone said.
"Following a red-hot spring when the ball consistently came sizzling off his bat, Rice made the Opening Day roster as expected."
"Jasson Dominguez will be the Yankees' starting left fielder on Opening Day, further solidifying the team's young talent strategy for the season."
"Will Warren, who is set to start the fourth game of the season next Tuesday, gave up four runs on five hits, mentioning, 'I think I fell behind more than I would like to.'"
