But job seems to be Giancarlo’s

not move them both.”

Outfield coordinato­r Reggie Willits stayed back to watch Judge in action. Willits has been working with Judge and Stanton on backfields this spring.

Asked if Judge would see action in left in a bigleague spring game with Opening Day fast-approachin­g, Boone replied: “It’s possible but not definite or anything.”

INJURY UPDATES

The hope is to get Jacoby Ellsbury (oblique) back in a game when the Yankees return to Lakeland to play the Tigers again on Tuesday. Ellsbury, who hit on the field again Saturday, is expected to get simulated at-bats on Monday if he continues to progress the way he has been. But that plan is fluid, Boone said.

Boone replied “not necessaril­y” when asked if the Bombers need to carry another outfielder if Ellsbury isn’t ready for Opening Day.

Clint Frazier (concussion) continues to improve, but he’s not ready to hit yet, Boone added.

OF NOTE

Tyler Wade made another diving play at second but committed an error at shortstop in the Yankees’ 9-3 loss to the Tigers. Wade also singled, walked and stole a base.

Wade will get in a game at third base this week, but will not play the outfield.

Wade said he did not get any reps in the outfield during the offseason, so it appears he will stay in the infield.

Brandon Drury had a single, two walks and made a diving play at third himself. ... Greg Bird doubled and scored a run in five at-bats . ... Domingo German struggled in relief, allowing three runs in two innings.
