Noteworthy items from the Yankees’ Grapefruit League action on Saturday:
He’s not Josh-ing
Josh VanMeter, a non-roster infielder trying to make the club, blasted his first home run of the spring 348 feet to right field off Jorge Alcalá.
Josh VanMeter, who also homered, throws out Royce Lewis to end the second inning in the Yankees’ 10-7 exhibition loss to the Twins. APBroke the seal
Oddanier Mosqueda, a 24-year-old lefty who has been solid in camp, allowed his first run in his fifth spring inning. Two of the three hits he allowed against the Twins, though, were grounded singles that found holes.
Caught my eye
On a windy and sunny afternoon that continually frustrated fielders, Anthony Volpe tracked a pop-up onto the grass behind second base and made a last-second dive and catch for a fifth-inning out.
Sunday’s schedule
Clarke Schmidt will get the start when the Yankees host the Braves in Tampa.
