NEW YORK (AP) — Michael Tauchman reported to the New York Yankees for the first time before an exhibition game at Washington cheap jerseys , three days before opening day and two days after he was acquired from Colorado in a trade.“Aaron Judge came over during batting practice, said, ‘Hey man, you’re here to help us win. You need anything, let me know.'” the outfielder recalled. “That’s such a little thing. It took maybe 15 seconds, but it’s great to know these guys really made me feel like part of a team from the minute I stepped in the clubhouse.”Little did Tauchman and the Yankees know how much the club would need him.New York already has placed 16 players on the injured list this season, four shy of its disabled list total for all of last year. Still, the Yankees are 23-16, 1½ games behind first-place Tampa Bay in the AL East.Tauchman and Cameron Maybin were acquired in trades. Infielder Thairo Estrada, first baseman Mike Ford and pitcher Joseph Harvey were brought up from the minors to make their major league debuts. Outfielder Clint Frazier, infielders Tyler Wade and Gio Urshela, catcher Kyle Higashioka and pitchers Jake Barrett and Nestor Cortes Jr. all got early season call-ups.Clubhouse comings and goings at times paralleled Grand Central Terminal during rush hour. Manager Aaron Boone welcomed newcomers as if he were a maitre d’hotel. His standard greeting?“What’s up, bro?” he said with a laugh before adding: “No, I just try and welcome them in my way.”He credits the tone to Brett Gardner, who has been in pinstripes since 2008, and CC Sabathia, who arrived the following year and helped pitch New York to its last title.“Guys when they do come in here from the minor leagues, whether it’s a young guy or somebody from outside the organization, “Boone said, “you want them to feel comfortable, feel at home in the room, and I think our guys do a great job of that.”New York has not deployed the same batting order in consecutive games this season. The Yankees have used 36 players, three shy of the high set by Baltimore.“The more comfortable people are, the more they can be themselves, the better they’re going to go out and perform,” Gardner said.Even though he hasn’t played since April 20 because of a strained oblique muscle, Judge is in the clubhouse every day. At 6-foot-7, he has an outsized presence www.thecheapmlbjersey.com , constantly cheering, seemingly always available for his teammates.Maybin was at Triple-A with Cleveland’s Columbus farm team when the Yankees bought his contract for $25,000 on April 25.“The culture that they’ve created in here is very much like a family, a brotherhood. As soon as you come in, guys are welcoming you in with open arms,” Maybin said. “I’ve been on eight teams and this is my 15th, 16th professional season, and you don’t always have chemistry in every locker room.“So I think it says a lot about the about the culture that they’ve created in here. I think that’s a culture of the only thing we’re trying to do is win ballgames. All the selfish stuff and the ego, you put that aside.”Tauchman’s description of the Yankees clubhouse sounded like Gen. Douglas MacArthur’s farewell to West Point, when he said “my last conscious thoughts will be of the corps and the corps and the corps.”“It’s always about the team — it’s the team, the team,” Tauchman said. “Whoever’s out there, the expectation is that you give us a chance to win, and we all embrace that.” How does someone pitch for 14 different teams before his 36th birthday?Edwin Jackson is on the verge of accomplishing exactly that after the right-hander was traded from Oakland to Toronto. He is expected to start for the Blue Jays this week, in which case he would set a record by pitching for a 14th team.Jackson got an early start, making his major league debut on his 20th birthday, and his career has included some highs and lows. He’s won a World Series, thrown a no-hitter and appeared in an All-Star game. But mostly, he’s been ordinary — not consistently good enough to stick with one team, but solid enough in stretches to earn plenty of opportunities.Here’s a look at Jackson’s journey, including stats from each of his stops, courtesy of Baseball-Reference.com. (FIP stands for Fielding Independent Pitching. It’s an ERA-like metric that attempts to measure how well a pitcher performs, using strikeouts, walks, home runs allowed and hit batsmen — stats the defense doesn’t influence.)LOS ANGELES DODGERS (2003-05, 75 1/3 innings, 5.50 ERA, 5.29 FIP)The Dodgers drafted Jackson in the sixth round in 2001 replica MLB jerseys , and he made his big league debut in 2003. But in a sign of things to come, he struggled to keep his walk totals down and pitched only sparingly before being traded to Tampa Bay.TAMPA BAY DEVIL RAYS/RAYS (2006-08, 380 2/3 innings, 5.08 ERA, 4.85 FIP)Jackson was a regular starter for Tampa Bay in 2007 and 2008, and in the latter year he went 14-11 with a 4.42 ERA. He also pitched a bit in the postseason in ’08. Then the Rays traded him to Detroit for Matt Joyce.DETROIT TIGERS (2009, 214 innings, 3.62 ERA, 4.28 FIP)Jackson earned All-Star honors in his one season with Detroit, going 13-9. The Tigers included him in a three-team trade with the Diamondbacks and Yankees the following offseason — a deal that brought Max Scherzer to Detroit.ARIZONA DIAMONDBACKS (2010, 134 1/3 innings, 5.16 ERA, 4.24 FIP)Jackson didn’t last the season with Arizona. The Diamondbacks traded him to the White Sox after 21 starts. But one of those starts was a 149-pitch no-hitter he threw at Tampa Bay. It was classic Jackson — he walked eight batters in the game.CHICAGO WHITE SOX (2010-11, 196 2/3 innings, 3.66 ERA, 3.22 FIP)The 30 starts Jackson made for the White Sox over parts of two seasons included some of the best work of his career. He was traded again in 2011, ending up with the contending Cardinals for the stretch run.ST. LOUIS CARDINALS (2011, 78 innings, 3.58 ERA, 4.01 FIP)St. Louis won the World Series in 2011, with Jackson contributing 12 starts in the regular season and four more in the postseason. One of Jackson’s teammates with the Cardinals was another well-traveled pitcher: reliever Octavio Dotel, who pitched for 13 teams from 1999-2013.WASHINGTON NATIONALS (2012 and 2017, 260 2/3 innings, 4.32 ERA, 4.40 FIP)Jackson spent multiple stints with the Nationals after signing as a free agent. He made 31 starts in 2012.CHICAGO CUBS (2013-15, 347 innings, 5.37 ERA, 3.98 FIP)Jackson finally had a chance to stay with one team for a bit after signing with the Cubs MLB Jerseys Wholesale From China , but his tenure there didn’t go well. He lost 18 games in 2013 and had a 6.33 ERA in 2014. His FIP numbers suggest he was a little unlucky, but eventually the Cubs stopped using him as a starter.ATLANTA BRAVES (2015, 24 2/3 innings, 2.92 ERA, 4.96 FIP)After being released by the Cubs, Jackson resumed his nomadic ways, finishing the 2015 season in a relief role with Atlanta.MIAMI MARLINS (2016, 10 2/3 innings, 5.91 ERA, 5.96 FIP)The Marlins picked up Jackson before the season and then released him after eight relief appearances.SAN DIEGO PADRES (2016, 73 1/3 innings, 5.89 ERA, 5.27 FIP)Jackson found an opportunity to start again when he joined the Padres, who were on their way to a last-place finish in 2016.BALTIMORE ORIOLES (2017, five innings, 7.20 ERA, 9.96 FIP)Jackson made only three appearances with the Orioles before going back to the Nationals.OAKLAND ATHLETICS (2018, 92 innings, 3.33 ERA, 4.65 FIP)Jackson was released by Washington and signed with Oakland during the 2018 season. He went 6-3 in 17 starts with the A’s, helping them to a postseason berth. If he can repeat those results with Toronto, the Blue Jays will probably be pretty pleased.Elsewhere around the majors:HIGHLIGHTThe Red Sox have recovered from their poor start and are now just three games out of first place in the AL East. They can thank Jackie Bradley Jr. for their 12-inning victory at Baltimore on Wednesday night. The outfielder leaped above the wall in center to take what would have been a game-winning homer away from Trey Mancini in the 11th.LINE OF THE WEEKOakland’s Mike Fiers threw the second no-hitter of his career Tuesday night, beating Cincinnati 2-0. He became the 35th pitcher with multiple no-hitters, finishing his gem despite a high pitch count that ultimately reached 131.
