In a recent exhibition game, Marcus Stroman showcased his sharp skills by limiting the Toronto Blue Jays to one run over three innings, helping set the tone for the Yankees. Despite strong openings from Austin Wells and Cody Bellinger with formidable home runs, the bullpen faltered, necessitating a late-game comeback. The Yankees are testing players for the lead-off position, with Wells making a strong case for himself. However, the pivotal injury to Luis Gil is causing the team to rethink pitching strategies, particularly involving Stroman.
Austin Wells drew the assignment today and immediately strengthened his case, launching a leadoff home run on an 0-2 sinker from Blue Jays starter Yariel Rodríguez.
The lone damage came in the second inning, Nathan Lukes crushing a hanging 1-0 curveball for a solo shot to cut the Yankees' lead to 2-1.
