Yankees drop 4 pitchers, including intriguing lefty

Tampa—The Yankees trimmed their spring training roster on Monday, parting ways with four pitchers as the club continues to evaluate arms ahead of the regular season.

While the organization did not immediately disclose the names of the players affected, the quartet’s release reduces the number of arms in big-league camp and clarifies the competition for remaining bullpen and rotation spots. Among those let go was a left-handed pitcher previously considered an intriguing project within the system.

The moves leave the Yankees with a streamlined pitching staff as exhibition games intensify and front-office officials finalize their Opening Day blueprint.
