Observations from Yankees spring training Sunday:
Hess, sir!
Ben Hess, one of the top Yankees pitching prospects, tossed two scoreless innings of relief, including setting down Trea Turner, J.T. Realmuto and Alec Bohm.
Crash test
Ben Rice gave Aaron Boone a scare when he went crashing into the short wall by the rolled-up tarp down the first base line trying to run down a pop-up.
Fortunately for the Yankees, Rice was no worse for wear.
Caught my eye
Anywhere the Yankees put George Lombard Jr. on the infield, he has delivered a highlight-reel play over the first 10 games this spring.
After doing so at shortstop and third base last week, the prospect played second base Sunday and made a strong play on a chopper past the mound, throwing on the run to first, where Rice provided a scoop for the out.
Monday’s schedule
The Yankees will have their first off-day of camp before returning to action Tuesday against Panama at Steinbrenner Field, with Max Fried and Giancarlo Stanton set to make their spring debuts.
