“#Mike Tauchman injury scare clouds Yankees roster plans<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

CLEARWATER, Fla. \u2014 Mike Tauchman\u2019s role on the 2021 Yankees has yet to be fully defined. An injury wouldn\u2019t help him find much clarity.<\/p>\n

Tauchman fouled a ball off his right shin during an at-bat in the top of the second of the Yankees\u2019 6-2 loss to the Phillies on Sunday at BayCare Ballpark. He stayed in the game<\/a>, but was replaced in left field an inning later by Ryan LaMarre.<\/p>\n

Aaron Boone said after the game Tauchman was removed to avoid swelling and that no X-ray was scheduled \u201cas of now.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see how it is in the morning,\u2019\u2019 the manager said.<\/p>\n

Clint Frazier also gave the Yankees a brief scare when he came up in discomfort after a slide into third later in the game, but Boone said he was fine. Frazier was in right field to get him accustomed to the position if he needs to be used there occasionally, Boone said.<\/p>\n

The Yankees are still trying to sort out their final roster spots, with Justin Wilson dealing with shoulder tightness that sidelined him briefly. The left-hander may need a brief stint on the IL to open the season.<\/p>\n

Boone said he wasn\u2019t sure if the roster would be finalized by the time the team heads to New York following Monday\u2019s Grapefruit League finale against the Tigers in Tampa.<\/p>\n

Among the other decisions they need to make is what to do with Tyler Wade, who has struggled at the plate and still has minor league options remaining.<\/p>\n

Boone praised Wade\u2019s \u201cdefensive versatility\u201d and ability to play shortstop and the outfield, as well as his speed on the basepaths, but there\u2019s no guarantee he\u2019ll be there to open the regular season.<\/p>\n

Gio Urshela said his surgically repaired right elbow has held up fine during the spring and he\u2019d be comfortable if called upon to play shortstop occasionally. He\u2019s continued to take grounders there after playing in one Grapefruit League game at the position.<\/p>\n
Jay Bruce started at first base as he prepares for regular playing time there in the wake of Luke Voit\u2019s injury. He looked fine Sunday, fielding a routine grounder and making a scoop on a wide throw from DJ LeMahieu \u2014 who was at third \u2014 that pulled Bruce off the bag.<\/p>\n

Bruce also hit a hard double off the wall in right-center.<\/p>\n

Boone said where Bruce hits in the lineup would be dictated in part by who the team was facing. With left-hander Hyun Jin Ryu slated to start for Toronto on Opening Day in The Bronx, Boone said Bruce could be the lone left-handed bat in the lineup.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll try to be strategic with where we put him,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cHe\u2019s more than held his own against lefties anyway.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miguel Andujar is still dealing with some right wrist discomfort. Boone said Andujar hit off a tee and threw \u201ca couple of days ago\u201d after days of being symptom-free, but then had some soreness and backed off.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Saturday] was a better day,\u2019\u2019 Boone said. \u201cHe\u2019s certainly getting better, but he\u2019s not out of the woods yet.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
