- At 34, Randal Grichuk holds a career.268 batting average and last season posted a.703 OPS versus lefties with seven home runs and 18 RBIs.
- Competition for roster spots means if Grichuk makes the team, Jasson Domínguez and Spencer Jones could be sent to Scranton, manager Aaron Boone said he sees a real chance but no guarantee.
- Past examples show that Yankees roster battles, like Dominic Smith versus Ben Rice and Oswald Peraza versus Anthony Volpe, have influenced spring performance and openings.
