Smashed debut

Yerry De Los Santos, a non-roster reliever the Yankees have been high on, had a rough spring debut, giving up four runs (three earned) on three hits and a walk across two-thirds of an inning.

Lefty reliever Clayton Andrews, picked up off waivers from the Brewers last month, made his spring debut with a scoreless inning with a strikeout. “The changeup’s real,” Aaron Boone said.
