This afternoon was marred by an avalanche of news. Jay Bruce and Mike Tauchman both made the team as a result of Luke Voit’s apparent knee injury, with the Yankees’ starting first baseman likely sidelined at least a few weeks into the season. With this backdrop, the Yankees also played a game today, downing the Blue Jays 5-1 as their spring training slate starts to amble to a close.
Jameson Taillon was originally slated to start, but the Yankees decided to have his final tuneup outing come in a simulated game, opting instead for Jhoulys Chacín.
