DJ LeMahieu gets his first reps at third base of the spring while Derek Dietrich and Jay Bruce continue contending for an Opening Day roster spot.
With an off day tomorrow—the final off day before the conclusion of spring training—it's no surprised most of the starters are in the lineup. Only Luke Voit and Gio Urshela didn't make the trip to Dunedin.

LIVE UPDATES
First inning
Both Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton ripped hard-hit singles up the middle off Thomas Hatch, but New York couldn't push a run across in the first.
An impressive first inning from Jordan Montgomery, retiring the side in order.
Fourth inning
Jordan Montgomery is through four innings and hasn't allowed a hit while the Yankees have added only one base hit since the first... Very quiet first few innings on offense for both teams.
Fifth inning
The Yankees push across the first run of the game on a ground out by Gleyber Torres.
In the bottom half, Jordan Montgomery finishes his fifth scoreless and hitless inning. His day is done after throwing 66 pitches and striking out four. Not too shabby for the left-hander!
Sixth inning
Another pair of singles from Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, but they're stranded to end the inning.
Ninth inning
FINAL: Yankees 1, Blue Jays 0
The Yankees close out a 1-0 win as Lucas Luetge earns his first save of the spring. New York's pitching staff has been lights out this spring and Wednesday was no exception.
Yankees won't play again until Friday back at George M. Steinbrenner Field. Until then, thank you for following along and we'll see you again here at Inside The Pinstripes soon!
