NEW YORK -- Watch Yankees first baseman Greg Bird take batting practice with the team for the first time this regular season before a game against the Angels at Yankee Stadium on Saturday, May 26, 2018.
Bird was slated to hit sixth and play first base.
The 25-year-old had missed all season following surgery to remove a bone spur from his right ankle.
The team sent down Ronald Torreyes to make room for Bird.
