BALTIMORE — Yankees manager Aaron Boone sometimes will sit a player the day after a huge game.

It didn’t happen on Saturday for Game 1 of the Yankees’ day-night doubleheader against the Baltimore Orioles.

Luke Voit is back playing first base ahead of slumping regular Greg Bird for the second game in a row.

Voit was 3-for-5 with his first two homers since joining the Yankees in an August trade on Friday night to help key a 7-5, 10-win over the Orioles.

Watch the video above to hear Boone talking about playing Voit again and whether Bird, who is hitting .202, should be motivated by a backup having a breakout game.

PROSPECT SPOTLIGHT
Tyler Nunez, a C from Lake Nona HS, is a 6'2 190lb athletic catcher who provides strength with the bat and glove. During BP, Tyler stuck with a middle of the field approach while staying on a line. He impacted the ball well with his compact and direct path, T90EV. He showed off his real athleticism behind the plate by posting a 2.04 pop time while staying around the bag on every throw. He is a good looking athletic uncommitted catcher to keep an eye on.
