Around the Empire: Yankees news - 3/23/22

New York Post | Joel Sherman: With two weeks to go to Opening Day, MLB and the players’ union agreed to a set of “special” rules for this season. The extra-inning man on second is back, and critically, active rosters will expand to 28 men for the first month of the season. Clubs are deeply concerned about the impact that such a shortened spring training will have on pitcher health, and will look to add extra arms to the roster. Starting May 1st, rosters will return to 26, with a 13 pitcher cap.

New York Daily News | Kristie Ackert: The Yankee rotation was excellent last year, and although projected to be so again this season, there are real question marks around health, usage, and the existence of a true No.
