Carlos Carrasco competes for Yankees' rotation spot
Carlos Carrasco is making a strong case for a spot in the Yankees' starting rotation. He pitched 3 1/3 innings against the Phillies, allowing one run and striking out six batters. Carrasco has a 2.45 ERA this spring. His main competition is Will Warren, who has a 1.54 ERA in 11 2/3 innings. The Yankees have not yet decided on their fifth starter. Manager Aaron Boone noted that several players are pushing for roster spots. Giancarlo Stanton has returned to the team after receiving treatment for elbow injuries but remains out indefinitely. He is also dealing with a minor calf issue. Boone mentioned that Stanton's presence is a sign of progress.
