Congratulations, Yankees fans. We’ve made it to the first milestone of the 2016 season: report day for pitchers and catchers!
Not too much action going on today – just players arriving and getting their lockers or number assignments – maybe getting in a light workout. Here’s a quick rundown on what’s gone on so far this morning at the Yankees’ complex in Tampa:

Aroldis Chapman has arrived at #Yankees camp. He has been issued No. 54.

First impression after seeing him walk by: I’m actually a little surprised Aroldis Chapman doesn’t throw even harder. Dude is huge.

Aaaaand it’s the first open clubhouse of the spring. Kinda empty. Romine, Nova, Ackley hanging out. #Yankees

Aroldis Chapman said he is “very excited to be here” and believes coming to winning atmosphere in NY “is going to make an impact” for him.

More players should trickle in as the day goes on. Joe Girardi will hold his opening press conference at 11 am ET. It can be seen live on the YES Network. Stay tuned for more updates on news coming out of camp.
Happy Report Day, everyone!
