The Yankees entered spring training with two pitchers at the top of their priority list: Jameson Taillon and Corey Kluber. Seeing them healthy and productive after being almost entirely absent in 2020 would go a long way toward building confidence in the team’s rotation.
Taillon has done his part so far, and while he wasn’t at his sharpest during his Friday start against the Tigers, he still kept them off the board. He worked around two walks and a double by Wilson Ramos to get through the first two frames unscathed, then walked Robbie Grossman and gave up an infield single to Jeimer Candelario to lead off the third. Taillon fanned Willi Castro and got Miguel Cabrera to hit a popup in back of first base.

The Yankees are in Lakeland today to take on the Tigers. If this sounds familiar, it’s because this same exact matchup happened on Tuesday in the same setting.
This time though, the Yankees will be pitching Jameson Taillon rather than Deivi García. After he throws a few innings, Aaron Boone will cobble together the rest of the game from the following bunch that traveled to Joker Marchant: Albert Abreu, Kyle Barraclough, Nestor Cortes Jr., Nick Goody, Brooks Kriske, Tyler Lyons, Reggie McClain, and Addison Russ.
