Yankees' McMahon Auditions for Backup Shortstop Role

Yankees third baseman Ryan McMahon is being given a chance to seize the backup shortstop role, gaining reps in an 11-1 exhibition win over Panama. Despite flubbing a grounder, McMahon, who has five Gold Glove nominations at third, believes more reps will improve his play at a position he's rarely played professionally. He went 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a run. Manager Aaron Boone plans for McMahon to focus on shortstop in upcoming practices and games.
