Giancarlo Stanton is with the team in New York and continues to hit off the high-velocity Trajekt machine. Stanton is also "starting to move around more outside," Aaron Boone said.

It's expected to be cloudy and in the 50s for game time at Yankee Stadium. Aaron Boone said "it'll probably feel like Maui out there, considering the five days we just experienced."

Marcus Stroman (left knee inflammation) had a cortisone shot yesterday. "We're hoping it's not long," Aaron Boone said.

Probable starters for the Yankees/Royals series:

4/14: RHP Carlos Carrasco (1-1, 7.71) vs. RHP Seth Lugo (1-1, 3.24)
4/15: LHP Max Fried (2-0, 1.56) vs. RHP Michael Wacha (0-2, 4.20)
4/16: RHP Clarke Schmidt (5-5, 2.85 in 2024) vs. LHP Kris Bubic (2-1, 0.96)
