Observations from Yankees spring training on Monday:
Rice is cooking
Ben Rice flashed a nice glove at first base, robbing Enmanuel Valdez of a base hit with a diving catch to his right in the third inning.
Not again
Jake Bird, who struggled badly after being acquired at last year’s trade deadline from Colorado, gave up two more runs to the Pirates.
Caught my eye
Giancarlo Stanton smashed a 424-foot homer to left-center.
The shot was measured at 109 mph and was his first of the spring.
But can he open a bag of Doritos?
Tuesday’s schedule
Luis Gil gets the start against the Phillies at 1:05 p.m. in Clearwater, Fla., as the right-hander tries to regain the form he displayed as American League Rookie of the Year in 2024.
