NEW BACKUP

Austin Romine would appear the front-runner to serve behind McCann, though maybe Carlos Corporan has a chance, too. Girardi and Cashman each have praised Romine, who’s hit .273 with four doubles and played his typically strong defense. Corporan has more experience as a big-league backup, but he’s hit .190. For what it’s worth — probably nothing — the Yankees grew and developed Romine, whereas Corporan latched on as a free agent before camp.
