The Yankees are trotting out what could be their opening day lineup today, as they face the Rays from George M. Steinbrenner Field. “Big Mike” Michael Pineda gets his first start of the spring, hoping to build upon his success last year. The Yankees just hope he can stay healthy, which has been an issue for him over his short career. A-Rod starts for a second straight day, this time at DH.
