Their opponents today will be the Rays, with Cam Schlittler making his spring debut against Joe Boyle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s hard to overstate the impact that Schlittler made as a rookie last year with the Bombers \u2014 and he only debuted in July! In his 14 regular season starts, Schlittler threw 73 innings of 2.96 ERA ball, with very good peripherals to boot. However, he saved his best work for the postseason, posting eight shutout innings with 12 strikeouts over the Red Sox in the winner-take-all Game 3 of the Wild Card Series. Though his next postseason start\u2014Game 4 of the ALDS against Toronto\u2014didn\u2019t go as well, he still earned the admittedly dubious distinction of being the only Yankee starter to post a quality start in that series. This will be Schlittler\u2019s spring debut, and I\u2019m hoping it will be the harbinger for a strong sophomore campaign for the big guy.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Schlittler will duel against Joe Boyle, whose accolades include eight Oscars, all won for his 2008 film Slumdog Millionare, though die-hards still swear by his 1996 classic Trainspotting \u2014 oh wait, wrong Boyle. The Boyle starting today is less decorated than Danny, but that doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s a pushover. Selected in the 12th round of the 2020 draft by the Reds, he made his MLB debut in 2023 with the Athletics, posting a 1.69 ERA over three starts. After a rough 2024, he was shipped to the Rays as part of a package for Jeffrey Springs and Jacob Lopez, where he split time in Triple-A, where he was an International League All-Star, and the majors, where he posted a 4.67 ERA (4.19 FIP) and 58 strikeouts over 52 innings. Armed with premium stuff, the next step for Boyle is finding the strike zone with consistency. If he does, he\u2019ll be a thorn in the Yankees\u2019 side for the next few years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">The top of the Yankees\u2019 lineup tonight features their big guns, sans Aaron Judge (leading Team USA tonight against Brazil in their WBC opener). Trent Grisham is in center field leading off, followed by Ben Rice at first, Cody Bellinger in left, and Giancarlo Stanton at DH. Ryan McMahon and Paul DeJong will be at third base and second base, batting fifth and sixth. Making his spring debut will be Oswaldo Cabrera\u2014we love you Oswaldo!\u2014coming back after a left ankle fracture ended his 2025 season in May. Max Schuemann will hit eighth and start in right field, and Payton Henry will don the tools of ignorance in the nine spot.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">How to watch<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Location: George M.
