OAKLAND -- Andrew McCutchen last played left field in 2009, at Triple-A Indianapolis. He's never done it in the majors.
When he took fly balls there this week at the Oakland-Alameda County Coliseum, he said it was "just like riding a bike."
"If I can adjust to right field in San Francisco, I can adjust to anything," he said in the clubhouse there Wednesday. "That's the way I look at it."
The Yankees will likely call on McCutchen to play left field at some point this season, and it could happen as early as Friday when they start a three-game set with the Mariners at Safeco Field.
