Here are some notable nuggets that happened during Yankees’ spring training action on Monday:
Texas slugger
Ronald Guzman, who is in camp on a minor league deal, went 3-for-4 with a double and five RBIs in Monday’s 11-7 win over the Tigers. The former Rangers first baseman could provide depth with some pop at Triple-A.

Aroldis Chapman’s first pitch Monday was a 94 mph fastball that sailed to the backstop. But the Yankees closer settled in from there, working a 1-2-3 inning, including a strikeout of Javy Baez.
Caught my eye
Gleyber Torres smacked the first pitch of the game over the fence in right-center field for his second home run of the spring. After tweaking his mechanics with hitting coach Dillon Lawson, Torres is 8-for-19 in Grapefruit League play.
