The Bombers welcome their cross-town foes at GMS.
With less than a week until Opening Day, the Yankees prepare for their final spring tune-ups. They’ll host the Mets at GMS before part of the regular lineup heads to Mexico City to face the Diablos Rojos. Let’s dive into today’s action.
Luis Gil has been impressive this spring, showcasing his skills after recovering from Tommy John surgery. With MLB experience and a strong performance in Grapefruit League appearances, the 25-year-old emerges as a top contender for the fifth-starter spot. In four outings, Gil boasts a 2.31 ERA over 11.2 innings, striking out 18 while issuing just four walks.
Tyler Stuart, drafted by the Mets in 2022, has risen through the ranks to become the organization’s 18th-ranked prospect. Known for his towering height and solid pitching arsenal, Stuart posted a remarkable 2.20 ERA across High-A and Double-A in 2023, making him a promising talent on the mound.
The Yankees field a potential Opening Day lineup, featuring key players like Gleyber Torres, Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, and Giancarlo Stanton, who recently impressed with a three-homer game. Anthony Volpe, displaying a refined approach this spring, adds to the lineup’s depth.
While the Mets won’t showcase J.D. Martinez, their lineup remains formidable with stars like Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso, and Francisco Alvarez expected to start on Opening Day.
