As expected, the likes of Gerrit Cole, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, Brett Gardner, Gleyber Torres, Aaron Hicks, and the rest of the starters will attend Summer Camp. However, fans should expect to see some new faces this summer.
The Yankees placed starter Luis Severino on the 60-day IL after Severino underwent Tommy John Surgery in February.
For infield depth, the Yankees signed infielder Matt Duffy and catcher Max McDowell to minor league contracts. Both players are expected to report to the Bronx on Wednesday.
Finally, the Yankees released RHP Dan Otero, re-signed him to a minor league contract, and placed him on the 60-man roster.
