At a possible crisis point for the Yankees’ rotation, a few young arms have answered the call.
MIAMI — There has been no shortage of concerns around the Yankees, who were five-hit by the Marlins’ Sandy Alcantara on Saturday.After Randy Vasquez was effective in a bulk role following an opener Friday night, Jhony Brito was better on Saturday,The Yankees placed Nestor Cortes on the injured list Friday, and he likely will miss the rest of the season. That came four days after Carlos Rodon hit the IL.
The battered rotation partly turned to openers — Ian Hamilton and Michael King the last two days — but mostly turned to rookies Vasquez and Brito, who both have chances at significant roles for what the team hopes will be a run at a wild-card spot.
