Said he feels "no relief" that his injured shoulder does not need surgery since his only goal was to be in the Yankees starting lineup on Opening Day. Will be the first arm work Gregorius does after injuring his throwing shoulder during the WBC and having to start the season on the DL. [SIZE=6][B]Andrew Marchand ESPN Senior Writer [/B][/SIZE] The Yankees believe Luis Severino can be a top of the rotation guy, which is why the competition was always weighted his way for the 4th spot in the rotation. He has won that job, Joe Girardi said in Tampa today. The fifth starter will either be Bryan Mitchell or Jordan Montgomery. [SIZE=6][B]Andrew Marchand ESPN Senior Writer [/B][/SIZE] Aaron Judge is the Yankees starting right fielder, Joe Girardi announced today in Tampa. The 6-foot-7, 285-pound Judge had the offseason backing of owner Hal Steinbrenner and enters Thursday afternoon with a .975 OPS in 58 at-bats. Aaron Hicks will be the team's fourth outfielder. ------------------------------------------------------------- [URL="http://www.espn.com/mlb/insider/story/_/id/19022958/bullpen-power-rankings-bring-late"]Bullpen Power Rankings: Who can bring it late?[/URL] [B]6.
