first look at their potential shortstop of the future on Friday, as Isiah Kiner-Falefa made his Yankees debut in a 4-3 Grapefruit League loss to the Pirates at LECOM Field in Bradenton, Fla. and was replaced by pinch-runner Anthony Volpe.<\/p>\n<p>Kiner-Falefa, acquired in the trade that also brought Josh Donaldson and catcher Ben Rortvedt from Minnesota and sent Gary Sanchez and Gio Urshela to the Twins, had a pair of hits, including a double in his first at-bat.<\/p>\n<p>A lifelong Yankees fan, Kiner-Falefa said he was at Yankee Stadium for Mariano Rivera\u2019s 400th career save in 2006 thanks to the fact he was participating in a baseball tournament.<\/p>\n<p>He was brought to the Yankees more for his glove than for his bat, but hopes to change that and worked with the Dodgers\u2019 Justin Turner during the offseason on restoring his leg kick.<\/p>\n<p>According to Kiner-Falefa, he had been hitting the ball on the ground too much.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large

learning experience,\u2019\u2019 Volpe said. \u201cBeing in the dugout the first couple of innings, I wasn\u2019t even playing. I was just being a sponge and keeping my ears as open as I can. I think I learned a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Aaron Boone, Volpe will have more learning experiences this spring.<\/p>\n<p>Boone said he expected Volpe to be with the big league club \u201cquite a bit\u201d this spring in an attempt to get him accustomed to the surroundings and the level of play.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Most scouts believe Volpe, 20, is at least a year away from the majors. He\u2019s expected to begin the season with Double-A Somerset.<\/p>\n<p>Fellow shortstop prospect Oswald Peraza, who likely will be with the major league club in Sarasota, Fla. on Saturday against the Orioles, is closer and should open the year with <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trip<\/a>le-A Scranton\/Wilkes-Barre.<\/p>\n<p>Managing <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> partner Hal Steinbrenner said Tuesday the development of the pair of minor leaguers has played a role in the team \u2014 so far \u2014 not going after any of the high-priced free agent shortstops this season.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignright\">\n    <\/aside>\n<p>Aaron Judge was among the Yankees sorry to see Luke Voit go in the trade that acquired right-handed pitching prospect Justin Lange from San Diego.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe changed this lineup and changed this team,\u2019\u2019 Judge said of Voit\u2019s arrival in a trade from St. Louis in 2018. \u201cLuke brought energy every single day. \u2026 He played with heart. He played with passion. He\u2019s someone I feel the fans really gravitated towards. Especially in New York, they want that grittiness. They want guys to be out there, be aggressive and give it their all. Luke, I feel like, represented the New York spirit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In exchange for Voit, the Yankees got the 20-year-old Lange, the Padres\u2019 first-round draft pick from 2020 (34th overall). The hard-throwing Lange pitched in the Complex League last season.<\/p>\n<p>With Voit\u2019s departure, the Yankees\u2019 40-man roster is at 39.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>Domingo German, placed on the 60-day IL on Thursday to open up a 40-man roster spot for Anthony Rizzo, was diagnosed with right shoulder impingement syndrome, the team announced Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Boone said German is in the early stages of a throwing program after being shut down in January when the shoulder issues that sidelined him last season popped up again in January.<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n<p>The Yankees remain in the market for a starting pitcher, with Nestor Cortes Jr. likely the fifth starter for now. Without German, Michael King, Luis Gil, Clarke Schmidt, Deivi Garcia and Luis Medina are in the mix for potential depth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we sit here early [in spring], very early, I do feel like we have a lot of good and interesting arms that could play a factor in the roster,\u2019\u2019 Boone said.<\/p>\n<p>There is also hope within the game that rosters will be expanded at least for the first few weeks of the season to allow teams to carry extra pitchers due to the shortened spring training.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
