Marcus Stroman had an uneven debut for the Yankees in spring training, falling 4-0 to the Phillies. Stroman started strong but struggled in the second inning. Ron Marinaccio also had a shaky performance, hoping to secure a bullpen spot. Young players like Oswald Peraza, Oswaldo Cabrera, Everson Pereira, and Austin Wells also struggled at the plate. The offense was quiet until Greg Allen's single in the eighth inning.
