A day after seeing their ace shake off some rust, the Yankees will get back to it with Deivi García on the mound. They’ll send their once-top prospect out to face the Tigers in Lakeland.
García started against the Tigers last week in his first spring outing, and he acquitted himself well enough. He managed a pair of scoreless innings, but perhaps more importantly, he looked to have added velocity on his fastball. It’s a small encouraging sign for a player who struggled mightily the last time we saw him.
Detroit will counter with their big-ticket free agent pitcher Eduardo Rodríguez.
