Yankees spring training: Final roster spots announced prior to Opening Day

The Yankees announced who will win the the team’s final roster spots on the last day of spring training. After a month of evaluation, the decision makers still had to decide on the rotation, bullpen, and right field job. With the injury to Didi Gregorius, they also had to figure out who would make the roster in place of their starting shortstop.

The team officially announced that Luis Severino will make the team as the fourth starter in the rotation. The decision had come down to either starting him in the majors or sending him back down to Scranton because they do not see him as a reliever.
