TAMPA — The Yankees were dealt their first real curveball of spring training Thursday with Brian Cashman announcing three injuries — and Aaron Boone later adding a potential fourth — that will throw a wrench into the roster the team planned on bringing north.
While the shortstop and, to a lesser extent, left field competitions are still up for grabs, the Yankees’ pitching plans have been altered by injuries to Carlos Rodon (mild forearm muscle strain), Tommy Kahnle (biceps tendinitis) and Lou Trivino (mild elbow ligament sprain).
Rodon and Kahnle will be on the IL until at least some time in April, and the Yankees hope Trivino can return by May.
Harrison Bader, meanwhile, was sent for testing Thursday on his left oblique, which could threaten his availability for Opening Day.
