TAMPA, Fla. -- Troy Tulowitzki is doing just fine, New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone says, despite his slow start at the plate.
Tulowitzki was hitless in three at-bats in a 6-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday. The five-time All-Star, who has not played in the major leagues since July 2017, is hitting just .176 (3-for-17) in seven games.
"I'm seeing enough encouraging things out of him," Boone said. "He needs reps now is all."
Tulowitzki missed last season because of surgery on April 2 for bone spurs in his right and left heels.
