It’s Sunday once more, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! We finally got some real, meaningful baseball this week, as the 2026 World Baseball Classic is finally underway. A whopping 13 Yankees have suited up for this year’s tourney, led of course by Yankees and Team USA Captain Aaron Judge. Regardless of whether they’re with their national teams or stuck in Tampa at the spring training complex, what have the Bombers been up to this week? Let’s find out!

Yankees fan favorite Oswaldo Cabrera made his spring debut on Friday night, the culmination of a long recovery from last spring’s broken ankle. Good to see you back in pinstripes, Cabrera!
More Media Day Photos
Both the Yankees and the players have been slowly posting photos from this year’s media day, so we have a few more this week.
