Around the Empire: Yankees news - 4/9/21

New York Times | James Wagner: Jameson Taillon was over the moon to be back out on the mound for the first time in almost two years. If the first game is a sign of things to come, the Yankees will be happy to have him. Taillon showed off a new throwing motion and a new pitch repertoire in his Yankees’ debut, and the result was a decent first outing for someone coming off a second Tommy John surgery.

New York Daily News | Dennis Young: Ahead of Wednesday’s game against the Orioles, nearly all of the Yankees’ players, coaches, and staff received the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine, putting them above the 85% threshold needed for relaxed restrictions.
