New York will have a rather depleted roster for this first game; the team has suffered numerous set backs and some key players are currently out with injuries - not the ideal start for the Yankees.
SS Derek Jeter is out with an ankle injury, 3B Alex Rodriguez's hip problem will also keep him out, and 1B Mark Teixera currently has a wrist injury.
Robinson Cano (2B) will in fact be the only starting infielder from the 2012 club.
Cano has said ahead of the game: "You don't want to see anybody get hurt, but it's part of life. Hopefully, they get well soon. Hopefully, we can just stay in the race until whenever they get back, and when we get them back and they help us to make it all the way to the playoffs," according to ESPN.
Another long term absentee for the Yankees will be home run leader Curtis Granderson, who will be out all the way through May with a forearm injury.
If the Yankees can get through these first few weeks despite all the injuries then it would bode well for them for the season. However, if they are unable to overcome the challenges with the injury list then their season could be a struggle early on until their roster becomes more available.
