Observations from Yankees spring training Friday:
Single file
Trent Grisham had been quiet at the plate through his first six games, but delivered a two-run single to get the scoring going in Friday’s 3-0 win over the Rays.
Challenge accepted
Catcher Payton Henry, who should provide some depth at Triple-A, went 4-for-5 in ABS challenges behind the plate, helping his pitchers out throughout the night.
Caught my eye
It was a strong night for the Yankees’ lefty relievers. Tim Hill and Brent Headrick both retired all five batters they faced, with each of them striking out four.
Hill and Headrick offer different looks from the left side, but the Yankees are banking on both of them being key contributors in the bullpen this season.
Saturday’s schedule
The Yankees head to the other coast of Florida for the weekend, beginning with Will Warren getting the start against the Nationals at Cacti Park of the Palm Beaches on Saturday night.
