TAMPA, Fla. — Andrew Miller took a screaming line drive off his non-pitching hand and insists he’ll be ready go for Monday’s season opener.
Bryan Mitchell covered first base on a routine play and ended up with a broken left toe and, depending on if surgery is needed, could miss a significant chunk of the season.
Funny game, this baseball.
A Yankees bullpen that had been effective and, most important, healthy all spring, took two blows in Wednesday’s game against the Braves in Lake Buena Vista.
They very well may have dodged a bullet with Miller, who was hit with a line drive off the base of his right hand on the first pitch he threw in the seventh inning to Willians Astudillo.
