Fort Myers, Fla. (CBSNewYork) – Gleyber Torres picked up right where he left off in 2018, launching a home run in his first at-bat of the spring Saturday against the Red Sox.
The Yankees started their spring training schedule in Fort Myers against the same team who ended their postseason run in October.
