New York Yankees Headlines

Ryan Weathers had a rough outing, surrendering seven runs in three innings during today's Grapefruit League loss, bringing his spring total to an alarming 16 earned runs over just 12 1/3 frames. Despite this shaky performance, manager Aaron Boone confirmed that Weathers still has a spot in the rotation, which raises eyebrows given the depth of the Yankees' pitching staff. Meanwhile, the team made the tough choice to option Carlos Lagrange, the standout prospect who dominated spring training with a 0.66 ERA and 13 strikeouts in 13.2 innings. As Opening Day approaches, the Yankees are also eyeing the AL East crown, with fans eagerly debating which team will emerge as the division champion. Max Fried, who will make his first Opening Day start for the Yankees, is looking to elevate the team’s chances, though his recent performance wasn’t without its flaws.
