Yanks lose more depth in outfield

The Yankees lost some potential outfield depth when Trayce Thompson, who they claimed on waivers Tuesday, was claimed by the A’s on Thursday.

But Clint Frazier, who has been out with a concussion, played in a simulated game in Tampa on Thursday — although it will be a while before he’s able to get to The Bronx.

“He continues to gain momentum,’’ manager Aaron Boone said before the Yankees lost to the Orioles, 5-2. “Hopefully now in the next couple of days, he’ll start to get into game action and start his spring training, game-wise and continues to progress. But things finally starting to ramp up, which is really good.”

The Yankees have been dealing with a depleted outfield, with Frazier, Aaron Hicks (oblique), Jacoby Ellsbury (oblique/hip) and Billy McKinney (shoulder) all on the disabled list.

Hicks could rejoin the team Tuesday in Boston. Since he’s been down the Yankees have played with just three outfielders on the roster, Brett Gardner, Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton.

Boone said the Yankees would keep the roster that way “for now. We continue to evaluate that every day.”

Dellin Betances got back on the mound for the first time since his meltdown Saturday in Toronto, when he gave up four stolen bases — including three straight to Kevin Pillar. He struck out the side Thursday, but walked Anthony Santander, who swiped second.

“Obviously, I don’t want to be in a situation where I’m not gonna be used because guys run on me,” said Betances, who has been working with pitching coach Larry Rothschild, before the game.

Aaron Judge’s homer was the 58th of his career. It took him 188 games to get there, making him the fastest to reach that number — passing Rudy York.
