 Marithe Marokovic standing by with the clubhouse report presented by your local forwardstores and Marithe that absolutely does begin with the starting pitching. Garrett Cole can really set a tone for the Yankees in game one today. Bob they need Garrett Cole to be their ace this afternoon. They really need to lean on him and have him set that tone and he's actually pitching in his first subway series. Now last time out Cole struggled a little bit giving up five earned runs and five innings pitched. I spoke to him the other day about that outing and perhaps some adjustments he will make coming into this afternoon. I thought that I got stronger as the game went on but the delivery in the first wasn't allowing me to to make pitches. I've looked over it. You know there's a little bit of there's a little bit of slightly slightly different tempo and slightly different rhythm to it. And so just looking to try to slide into that earlier and play catch this week and went through the routine with with that intent. There's one thing to identify it one thing to be able to change it how easy are those fixes for you. Yeah I mean they're they're I guess we'll see but I mean you know it comes down to really comes down to the Devers pitch. I mean if I live to die another day and get that ball out of strike zone maybe things are a bit different. So you know we'll look to improve on on the things that we can control in terms of delivery and executing the pitches and and and hopefully you know hopefully that hopefully that helps the execution and if not hopefully maybe we get away with you know those mistakes and some critical situations early and and allow us to allow us to settle in with the doubleheader the Yankees could sure use some length from Garrett Cole this afternoon. They did reinstate Wandy Peralta from the injured list. He'll serve as the 27th man. Nester Cortez is slated to get the ball in game two of this doubleheader. As far as the lineup is concerned Tim La Castro will get the nod in left field. It'll be his first start as a Yankee and he's a kid that grew up in upstate New York went to Ithaca College with he and his family are huge Yankees fans and you better believe they are all fired up for this afternoon. They were more excited than me because they were having to stay up to one two in the morning to watch games so now they can actually watch games on East Coast Times that's a good thing. What was it like for you to step into that clubhouse put the pinstripes on? It's something you literally dream about as a kid and finally came a reality and I can't wait to get started with this team I'm very excited. I told them any role you need me if you want me to come off the bench pincher on pinch hit start a game I'll be ready I've done those roles my whole career and I'll continue to do that now. Tim growing up with the Yankee fan like do you have any favorite memories of games you went to? Who are your guys? I remember I was here run Raul Abanyas hit the home run in the playoffs he pinched it for A-Rod tied the game up that he won it and I think it was the 12th or 13th that was probably the coolest and most memorable moment of the recent time. We're reset. I was sitting down on the third baseline going nuts. I remember me and my buddy who drove down from college in Ithaca and it was a great experience. And LeCaster told me the other day that he's expecting to have about 40 to 50 family and friends in attendance this afternoon and described getting traded to the Yankees and putting on the pinstripes as a dream come true. Now Aaron Boone said he really likes his versatility he's a guy that can play all three outfield positions and has a lead speed Boone said with lefties on the mound you're often going to see him in center field as this season continues. Now at about 12 30 this afternoon Corey Kluber was in the outfield here at Yankee stadium throwing on flat ground continuing the throwing program. He's at about 90 feet. Now after that session I asked Corey Kluber how his shoulder is holding up and what the next steps will be for him in the rehab process. You know just going through a throwing program. I think anybody who you know goes through an injury obviously would like it to go quicker than it does but just got to try to be smart about it and you know hopefully get myself to the point where when I do come back you don't have anything that that occurs. Have you felt anything since you started that throwing program? No I mean I think that's the point of giving stuff time to heal and then you know being smart about the throwing program is hopefully you do it in intelligent enough way that you don't feel stuff when you know the stuff that was bothering you. What will the progression be any idea when you'll actually get on a mound? I haven't looked out far ahead yet you know I think that I guess I've had too much experience with this the last couple years but I think that for me if I start looking ahead to that I kind of I guess don't don't do the best job of trying to you know attack that day's work the best I can start looking ahead too far so just trying to take it a day at a time and you know do the best I can with what the schedule is for that day. Are you confident that you're going to make it back this year? Yeah I don't think I have any reason not to be. And there's no question the Yankees could use Corey Kluber in that rotation. Another guy that is on the mound is Luis Severino. They are hoping to get him back at some point in time this season. He'll throw another bullpen session most likely with the Somerset Patriots Aaron Boone said that he will not travel with the team on this road trip. Zach Brittain is also scheduled to throw another bullpen and he could rejoin this team as early as next week. Boone said probably not Tuesday in Seattle but not too long thereafter that would be another boost for the bullpen.
