With a 3-1 record in the still-young spring training, the New York Yankees will face the Philadelphia Phillies at BayCare Ballpark in Clearwater, FL. First pitch is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. EDT.
Right-hander Deivi García, who impressed over a short cameo last season with the big team, is set to make his spring debut against veteran left-hander Matt Moore.
Thursday’s game will mark the return of third baseman Gio Urshela, who went under the knife in December to remove bone spurs from his right elbow. At one point, his presence in spring training games was in question, but he put those doubts to rest and is now ready to roll.
