This spring, the Yankees roster appeared mostly settled before injuries struck key pitchers, altering their plans for the season and future. With Opening Day approaching, injuries to Gerrit Cole, Luis Gil, and Clarke Schmidt forced the team to adapt. Although the first lineup is established with stars like Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger, the absence of DJ LeMahieu and Giancarlo Stanton at DH and third base casts doubt. Players like Ben Rice could shine in their places, showcasing their skills in critical starting roles this season.
"He's hitting the ball as hard as anyone you'll see - consistently hard. He's controlling the strike zone well... so he's just looking like a really good hitter." - Aaron Boone
