With the rest of the spring rotation set, the Yanks used 9 non-rotation guys to work 9 innings against the Phillies last night. They combined to allow 6 runs in a 6-0 loss.
- The big news of the day was Joe officially announcing Michael Pineda as the 5th starter. Hard to say Pineda didn't earn the job. Noteworthy was Joe's statement that Pineda would not have an innings limit. Doubt that's 100% true.
- Jacoby Ellsbury returned to the field as the DH in a MiL game and did so without any problems. He went 1-6 with 2 BB and is scheduled to play another MiL game today.
- Tyler Austin also played in a game yesterday, his first of the spring. Looks like he'll get a few in before the start of the season and he could be ready for the start of the Double-A season.
- John Ryan Murphy was reassigned to MiL camp, so expect the Cervelli backup announcement soon.
- When asked about Brendan Ryan's status, Joe said he'd be "really surprised" if Ryan was on the Opening Day roster.
- The day's bullpens: Carsten, Hirok, Ma-kun, and Cesar Cabral.
