The first of many?
Roderick Arias, a 19-year-old shortstop prospect who spent last year in the Florida Complex League, got his first hit in major league camp against the Phillies. Arias was signed from the Dominican Republic in 2022 for $4 million.
Rough finish
Cody Morris, a 27-year-old right-hander acquired by the Yankees from Cleveland in the offseason for former prospect Esteban Florial, gave up two runs in nine innings against Baltimore and has allowed seven runs in 3¹/₃ innings this season. . I went out twice this spring.

Tuesday schedule
Obviously, no one wants to play against the Blue Jays. Luke Weaver is scheduled to take over Gerrit Cole’s rotation spot in Dunedin, Fla., at 1:07 p.m., while the Yankees await word on the results of an MRI on the ace’s elbow, while Weaver is suffering from neck strain. I got a scratch. His successor will be Dennis Santana.
