After months of negotiating, Major League Baseball will officially return later this week. With players starting to report on July 1 (Canada Day), most teams will conduct their first workouts of the summer on July 3.
While it’ll be great seeing players back on the field, for the New York Yankees, they’ll be faced with some tough decisions involving their pitching staff in the near future. Without a minor-league season in 2020, some of their top young hurlers won’t be able to play in live games this season.
With just one vacancy in the Yankees’ rotation, most of those arms will either spend time in the bullpen or they’ll be limited to scrimmage games at the team’s alternate training site.
