Jay Bruce Starts At First Base Again On Wednesday

3 years agoNew York Yankees outfielder Jay Bruce started at first base on Wednesday, making it the sixth time in nine spring starts that he's started at first base. Bruce has played some first base over his career, but it's generally come in spurts as he only played the position in 17 of his 130 games from the past two seasons. Bruce's added versatility gives him a leg up on outfielder Mike Tauchman as the two hitters compete for what is likely the last spot on the team's bench (behind catcher Kyle Higashioka, outfielder Brett Gardner, and infielder Tyler Wade), and Bruce's strong spring offensive performance (.885 OPS) and improved health further boost his chances. Fantasy managers should keep an eye on the Yankees' bench situation, and Bruce is a potentially attractive DFS option if he makes the team.--Sam Chinitz
