Clayton Beeter is one of the pitchers the Yankees are monitoring closely this camp as he has a chance to earn a spot on the 26-man roster as a reliever, but his status for Opening Day could be in question. Manager Aaron Boone told reporters today that the right-hander had dealt with shoulder issues over the winter, and while the team believes he’s moved past it, he still had to slow down his throwing program as a result.
Last year the right-hander dealt with shoulder issues that sidelined him for the entire summer, with Brian Cashman fearing that Beeter would miss the entire season with shoulder surgery before a late-season return.
