Latest projected Yankees’ 26-man roster"},"content":{"rendered":"

TAMPA, Fla. \u2013 On this largely set Yankees\u2019 club, there are still a handful of unsettled issues.<\/p>\n

Veteran right-handed hitting outfielder Randal Grichuk’s agreement on a minor league deal Wednesday, as first reported by the YES Network’s Jack Curry, adds a new twist here.<\/p>\n

Advertisement<\/p>\n

Grichuk’s presence directly impacts the switch-hitting Jasson Dominguez, and it remains to be seen if Oswaldo Cabrera has enough runway to make the Opening Day roster.<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s always something that could change, whether it\u2019s when to use the No. 5 starter, or the unforeseen injury. Here\u2019s our latest best guess at the 26-player active roster for the March 25 opener at San Francisco:<\/p>\n

Yankees projected starting rotation (4)\"Feb<\/p>\n

Max Fried, LHP<\/p>\n

Luis Gil, RHP<\/p>\n

Ryan Weathers, LHP<\/p>\n

Will Warren, RHP<\/p>\n

Starting on the injured list: RHPs Gerrit Cole, Clarke Schmidt, Chase Hampton; LHP Carlos Rodon.<\/p>\n

In the conversation: LHP Cam Schlittler, Ryan Yarbrough; RHP Paul Blackburn.<\/p>\n

Advertisement<\/p>\n

Longshot candidates: RHPs Elmer Rodriguez, Carlos Lagrange, Brendan Beck, Adam Kloffenstein, Drake Fellows.<\/p>\n

Summary: There are three scheduled off dates in the season\u2019s first nine days, which could delay the use of a fifth starter.<\/p>\n

In that case, there\u2019s no sense in rushing Cam Schlittler into 2026.<\/p>\n

“We probably don\u2019t need” a fifth starter right away, said manager Aaron Boone. “But you never know how that shakes out either.”<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, Schlittler resumed pitching to live hitters after being delayed a little over a week in camp by mid-back inflammation. But he kept up his throwing program, so he was never too far behind.<\/p>\n

All told in 2025, Schlittler pitched a career-high 164 innings (including postseason), but so his 2026 workload is something to watch.<\/p>\n

Schlittler probably won’t be allowed to throw up to 90 pitches by the season’s first week, but “I\u2019ll take 70 pitches of Cam Schlittler,” said Boone, though “I guess (it’s) possible” that Schlittler slots in after the first rotation turn.<\/p>\n

Also of note, Will Warren\u2019s 2025 workload was a career high, and Ryan Weathers hasn\u2019t thrown more than 94.2 innings in his five MLB seasons.<\/p>\n

In the conversation: RHPs Jake Bird, Angel Chivilli, Osvaldo Brito, Kervin Castro.<\/p>\n

Longshot candidates: RHPs Yerry de los Santos, Yovanny Cruz, Harrison Cohen.<\/p>\n

Summary: Without taking a fifth starter, the possibility exists to take an extra reliever.<\/p>\n

But since there\u2019s probably not enough work to go around, an extra position player might be the beneficiary of that roster spot.<\/p>\n

Veteran, non-roster right-handed reliever Rafael Montero had still not arrived in camp as of Wednesday due to visa problems.<\/p>\n

J.C. Escarra<\/p>\n

In the conversation: Ali Sanchez, Payton Henry.<\/p>\n

Longshot candidates: Miguel Palma, Abrahan Gutierrez.<\/p>\n

Summary: No changes here.<\/p>\n

Wells will soon leave camp to join the Dominican Republic team at the World Baseball Classic. Escarra remains a potential trade candidate, or subject to start in the minors if they land a right-handed hitting catcher.<\/p>\n

Starting on the injured list: Anthony Volpe.<\/p>\n

In the conversation: Oswaldo Cabrera, Paul DeJong, Zack Short.<\/p>\n

Advertisement<\/p>\n

Longshot candidates: Seth Brown, Jonathan Ornelas, Jorbit Vivas, George Lombard Jr.<\/p>\n

Summary: There\u2019s doubt about Oswaldo Cabrera\u2019s readiness for Opening Day, opening the door for Max Schuemann and possibly for veteran non-roster infielder Paul DeJong.<\/p>\n

Coming back from a fractured left ankle last May, Cabrera\u2019s entry into exhibition play could possibly be as early as late next week (March 5-6 range), per Boone.<\/p>\n

“I feel like he\u2019s made real improvement the last couple of weeks,” Boone said of Cabrera. “I know he\u2019s starting to feel really good.”<\/p>\n

Schuemann\u2019s presence on the 40-man roster helps and he’s also been starting games in the outfield, adding to his versatility. DeJong started at all four infield spots last year for the Washington Nationals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Grichuk, 34, had a rough 2025 season, splitting time with Arizona and Kansas City and batting a combined .223 (.674 OPS) with nine homers and 27 RBI in 293 plate appearances.<\/p>\n

But in his 12-year MLB career, Grichuk has an .819 OPS against lefty pitching, and the Yankees have a need for another experienced right-handed hitter.<\/p>\n
