MLB.com | Bryan Hoch: Jameson Taillon released two goalless entries for the Yankees on Saturday against Pirates, who traded him with New York during the off-season. He allowed a pair of hits in his 39-shot effort, while hitting four. “His fastball was really sharp, and his breaking shots were also sharp,” said catcher Kyle Higashioka. “He commanded both sides of the board and launched himself into the zone.”
New York Post | Dan Martin: Just three days after Aaron Boone needed a pacemaker to correct his low heart rate, the Yankee captain went back to work. “It was nice to be out on the field again, competing with the guys,” said Boone. “I felt really good.” His speedy recovery even surprised some of his players. “I was shocked to see you here today, ” said Jameson Taillon. Gerrit Cole called Boone’s appearance “a good surprise”.
NJ.com | Brendan Kuty: During the off-season, Brian Cashman said that Gleyber Torres was out of shape during the 2020 season. It seems that Torres used this as a motivation, as he said he lost weight in the off-season and spent an extension working on defense. The Yankees will need their young shortstop to bolster their defense, which was one of the worst in baseball last year.
