THERE GOES MY ’HIRO

Masahiro Tanaka allowed a two-run homer and struck out six over four innings (60 pitches).

‘’My mechanics are still a little bit off here and there but overall I think things are starting to come together,” Tanaka said through an interpreter.

Tyler Austin hit his third homer this spring and Tyler Wade added two hits for the Yanks.

INS AND OUTS

To make room for Walker’s signing, the Yanks waived infielder Danny Espinosa and designated outfielder Jake Cave for assignment. They also reassigned infielder Kyle Holder to minor-league camp.

DAILY MEDS

Aaron Boone offered no update on Clint Frazier (concussion), calling the outfielder’s situation “status quo.” Boone added that Jacoby Ellsbury (oblique) should play in preseason games soon, but acknowledged the reserve outfielder may not be ready for Opening Day. “We’re probably getting into that range where we’re butting up against it,” Boone said.
