-Jorge Posada will be behind the plate for the first time this spring. He'll catch for three innings.
-Alex Rodriguez is off crutches. "He was in a good frame of mind. He asked how I was doing and how the club was doing," Joe Girardi said. "He said, 'Keep going.' The next step is getting into a pool, walking or jogging."
