Bombers bits

• Boone Logan (sore left elbow) should have time to pitch in Grapefruit League games before the Yankees break camp, according to Girardi. But the skipper is not as certain about Clay Rapada (left shoulder bursitis).

Girardi said that he does not necessarily need to start the season with two left-handers in the bullpen, because pitchers like Mariano Rivera, David Robertson and Joba Chamberlain are accustomed to getting left-handers out.

• Kevin Youkilis hit a two-run homer and Melky Mesa added a grand slam in Sunday's victory. Outfielder Brennan Bosch stroked his first two hits in a Yankees uniform, going 2-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored.
