The first night game for the Yankees this spring. It's been a gray and rainy day down in Tampa and the tarp is on the field, so it's possible that this game doesn't get played. If it is played, you can watch on YES or MLB Network at 7:05 p.m.

Things to Watch: Burnett is scheduled to go three innings or throw 50 pitches. Available to come out of the bullpen today is Jonathan Albaledejo, Kei Igawa, Mark Melancon, Royce Ring, Dave Robertson, Amaury Sanit and Kevin Whelen. Jesus Montero and Colin Curtis are available as reserves. Derek Jeter was scratched from the original lineup due to flu-like symptoms. Jason Heyward, the right fielder for the Braves, is widely regarded as one of the best prospects in baseball. Melky Cabrera did not make the trip with the Braves, spoiling the on-field reunion. Demaso Marte is expected to make his Grapefruit League debut on March 17th. Joe Girardi has encouraged Francisco Cervelli to try the new helmet with extra padding, the one that made David Wright look like a giant bobble-head doll.
Game Notes: Tonight's game has been cancelled due to inclement weather. The Yankees might be facing the same situation tomorrow.
