Tuesday notes…
- TODAY’S ROSTER CUTS: Kevin Alcántara and Javier Assad have been optioned to Triple-A Iowa. That leaves 36 players in camp, to be cut to the 26-man active roster by Thursday. The 36 include 19 pitchers (two non-roster invitees), four catchers (one non-roster invitee), seven infielders (one non-roster invitee) and six outfielders (three non-roster invitees).
- AT LAST: Today’s game is the last Cubs game this year that will not be televised.
Here are today’s particulars.
For the third straight day, neither team’s lineup was available at posting time. I assure you that will change starting Thursday.
Edward Cabrera will start for the Cubs.
Ryan Weathers will start for the Yankees.
As noted above, there’s no TV today. There will be a radio broadcast on the Yankees radio flagship, WFAN 660 AM.
Here is the complete MLB.com live streaming page for today.
Please visit our SB Nation Yankees site Pinstripe Alley. If you
do go there to interact with Yankees fans, please be respectful, abide by their individual site rules and serve as a good representation of Cub fans in general and BCB in particular.
As we have done in the past, we’ll have a first pitch thread at five minutes to game time and one overflow thread, 90 minutes after game time. For today, that will be 2 p.m. CT and 3:35 p.m. CT.
These threads will not post individually onto the front page; instead, there will also be a StoryStream on the front page with all the game thread links, as well as the recap after the game is over. The pitcher photos and regular-season stats will return on Opening Day.
Discuss amongst yourselves.
