Observations from Yankees’ spring training on Sunday:
Where they ain’t
Making his spring debut, Cody Bellinger picked up a pair of singles — neither of which was hit particularly hard, but both found the right spots.
The left fielder used his contact skills and speed — the latter resulting in an infield single — to his advantage.
Swing & miss
Trent Grisham used up an early challenge on the ABS, unsuccessfully trying to get a strike turned into a ball in the bottom of the first.
Caught my eye
Bucky Dent arrived at Yankees camp Sunday as a guest instructor and spent time talking with both Jazz Chisholm Jr. and, in an even longer conversation, Anthony Volpe.
“There’s wisdom to impart there,” manager Aaron Boone said. “For these guys to come back and offer some of that is always valuable.”
Today’s schedule
The Yankees travel to Bradenton, Fla., for a 1 p.m. game against the Pirates.
Lefty Ryan Yarbrough is set to make his first start of the spring, with Ben Rice among the regulars in the lineup.
