The New York Yankees’ spring training is off to a rocky start as injuries plague the roster, with key players like Chase Hampton undergoing Tommy John surgery and Jonathan Loaisiga sidelined for Opening Day. Jake Cousins also faces challenges with a strained forearm.

However, these setbacks have provided opportunities for emerging talents. Manager Aaron Boone has praised Yerry De Los Santos, while non-roster invitees Sean Boyle and Cam Schlittler have caught attention with their impressive performances. Boyle, known for his dominant changeup, and Schlittler, who showcased an elite slider, may soon find themselves climbing the pitching depth chart.
