Manager Joe Girardi told reporters before Sunday’s game that top prospect Bryson Stott could get a few more starts this spring at third base and second base. Stott, who is a shortstop by trade, could still usurp Didi Gregorius as the team’s Opening Day starter. He could also find his way onto the roster by beating out Alec Bohm for a starting spot, whether it’s at third or shortstop with Gregorius shifting to the hot corner.
Girardi wants Stott to play every day regardless of position if he’s on the major league roster.
