Sports Network: Another Yankee is going to represent his country at the World Baseball Classic. This time, it’s left-hander Ryan Yarbrough, who joins the American team to replace Joe Ryan due to injury. If the United States advances past the group stage, Ryan can theoretically join the club. But for now, Yarbrough, the veteran southpaw, will take his place representing the United States.
New York Post | Howie Kussoy: Jasson Domínguez had an exceptional spring training. Alas, it certainly won’t be enough to have him on the Opening Day roster. On Saturday, general manager Brian Cashman noted that “all he and (Spencer) Jones and (Randal) Grichuk and whoever else can do right now is put themselves in a position for us to take notice and we’ll evaluate the opportunities that exist at the end of camp and make some calls.” » With Cody Bellinger, Trent Grisham and Aaron Judge filling the starting spots in the outfield and Giancarlo Stanton as the designated hitter, even if The Martian made the 26-man roster, playing time would be limited.

New York Post | Howie Kussoy: Paul Blackburn also had a good spring. His four shutout innings Saturday brought his spring scoreless streak to six frames. Blackburn looked much better last season after lowering his arm angle and providing the Yankees with another arm, one that can throw in relief and start. For his part, Blackburn commented that the more he got out of the bullpen last season, the more comfortable he felt. Hopefully, he will keep this strong regular season spring and solidify a pen that has seen a lot of turnover this offseason.
