Heading into this season we have a pretty good idea of who will be in the Yankees starting lineup on March 26th in Baltimore but the same can’t be said about who will be on their bench.
The new rule change to a 26-man roster instead of 25 should open up another spot for a position player to make the team, but it probably won’t be another outfielder. After featuring a three-man bench last season the Yankees will likely carry four players on the bench in addition to 13 pitchers to make up their 26-man roster.
