Right stuff

Catching grief
Catcher Ben Rortvedt remained sidelined for a second straight day because of a finger injury, which has required him to visit specialists to determine a course of action.
Caught my eye
Former Giants GM and new Yankees adviser Brian Sabean made an appearance during Tuesday’s workout, holding court in the dugout with fellow adviser Omar Minaya, GM Brian Cashman and assistant GM Michael Fishman. Sabean is well regarded for his scouting and development chops.
Wednesday’s schedule
The Yankees are set to hold their third full-squad workout at Steinbrenner Field, with Gerrit Cole among the pitchers who will face live hitters.
