Brent Headrick Pushes for Yankees Bullpen Spot With Strong Spring

Lefty reliever Brent Headrick is making a compelling case for a Yankees bullpen role, recording his fourth scoreless outing in five appearances after tossing a scoreless inning with two strikeouts against the Tigers on Sunday. Manager Aaron Boone praised his consistency and development as a full-time reliever. Headrick averaged 93.9 mph on his fastball, maxing at 95.1 mph, and is competing for one of the final two roster spots against Jake Bird, Cade Winquest, and Kervin Castro.
