Although many players will report to Spring Training early, all Yankees pitchers and catchers invited to camp are expected to be in Tampa, FLA, no later than Wednesday, Feb. 12.
You can add veteran right-hander and former Los Angeles Angels swingman, Nick Tropeano, to the guestlist. On Monday, the Yanks signed Tropeano to a minor league deal with an invite to Spring Training.
A Long Island-native, Tropeano was a two-time All-American at Stony Brook, earning him a fifth-round selection by the Houston Astros in the 2011 Amateur Draft.
Beseeched by arm and shoulder injuries while as a member of the Angels, Tropeano underwent Tommy John surgery in late 2016 — forcing him to miss the entire next season.
