Observations from Yankees spring training Tuesday.
Lefty relievers Tim Hill and Brent Headrick each threw a scoreless inning, with Headrick striking out two.
J.C. Escarra , trying to prove he should make the club as a third catcher and backup first baseman (with Ben Rice starting at first), clubbed his second home run of the spring, this one off a left-hander as he went 2-for-2 with three RBIs.

Playing for Panama, José Caballero robbed Jasson Domínguez of a hit when the shortstop made a strong diving stop on a one-hopper to the hole and fired to first for the out.
Luis Gil will make his third start of the spring when the Yankees visit the Red Sox at JetBlue Park in Fort Myers, Fla.
