Observations from Yankees spring training Thursday:
Oswaldo that ends well
Oswaldo Cabrera picked up his first hit of spring, roping a double to the opposite field in the eighth inning.
The utilityman, who had a delayed start to game action after breaking his ankle last May, started the spring 0-for-10 as he worked to find his rhythm.
Load of bull’
It was a rough day for a few bullpen hopefuls, as Cade Winquest and Kervin Castro each gave up a pair of runs in a split-squad loss to the Blue Jays.
Caught my eye
Back from the WBC, Paul Goldschmidt is trying to make up for the lack of at-bats he got over the last two and a half weeks.
The veteran first baseman, who only started one of USA’s seven games in the tournament, took at-bats against Carlos Rodón in live batting practice Thursday and then played in the game against the Orioles, going 1-for-3.
Friday’s schedule
Luis Gil makes his final start of the spring when the Yankees host the Orioles at 6:35 p.m. at Steinbrenner Field.
