Giancarlo Stanton and Aaron Judge are doubtful to start the season, and the Yankees have only three true outfielders on the prospective 26-man roster. While Brett Gardner, Mike Tauchman, and Clint Frazier are a perfectly serviceable outfield trio, an injury to any one of those three would leave the Yankees outfield situation in a precarious spot. Luckily for the Bombers, a reinforcement to the depleted depth could already be sitting in their spring training camp.
Last week I advocated for Tyler Wade as the twenty-sixth man.
