 You knew something interesting might be up with Frankie Montas when pitching coach Matt Blake said earlier today that surgery would indeed be a possibility. You wondered how long they would have to wait and see to see what the final fate would be for Frankie Montas and Aaron Boone immediately to start the press conference said that Frankie Montas will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his shoulder on the 21st best case scenario. He'll be back in the second half of the season, though Boone did admit that they're going to have to get in there, start the surgery, see what else they find if anything or if it's just a straight arthroscopic surgery. The Yankees have their fingers crossed there. So what does that mean for the Yankees rotation? Boone mentioned guys like Clark Schmidt and Domingo Hermann as possible replacements sliding in that rotation. We've seen both of them in that role before. Also noteworthy, Nestor Cortes was supposed to play in the WBC, but he tweaked his hamstring. Aaron Boone said that's not a long term thing. They think that's going to be short term. He may start throwing as early as next week, but they are going to have to get him built up whether or not he is ready. The first week of the season remains to be seen, but right now they remain optimistic. The Yankees have some other question marks, too, and that starts at the infield at shortstop. Is it going to be IKF? Is it going to be a guy like Anthony Volpe or a Paraza? All those guys are in the mix and Boone reiterated that it is going to be an open competition. So that's something to watch throughout the course of spring training. Speaking about the WBC, one guy that is playing in it will be Glebert Torres. He reported early he was here at his locker. He said he can't wait to represent his native Venezuela in the WBC. He also noted that he played a little bit of winter ball this offseason, felt as though his swing just wasn't consistent enough last year. So he continued to work on that, feels as though he's in a very good place right now. Boone went on to say, during this press conference, he views Glebert Torres as the starting second baseman for this team, but noted guys like DJ LeMay who probably will get some time there as well. He's one of those guys that is so versatile, can move around the infield. And good news for the Yankees, it seems as though his right foot is finally healed and he is good to go. There's going to be plenty news over the next couple of days, so make sure you stay tuned to the Yes socials, whether it be Instagram or Twitter. And don't forget, our first game is coming your way on February 26th. Yankees Braves Game 1 of spring training. We will see you there. Thanks so much for joining us for this special Aaron Boone press conference. We'll see you on the 26th.
