KEY GAME INFORMATION
NY YANKEES: NEW YORK (AP) - Derek Jeter is gone, the final remaining link to the New York Yankees' last dynasty. He left behind a team in transition, that failed to make the playoffs in consecutive years for the first time in a generation and is beset with an older core coming off injuries.
Alex Rodriguez's return from a season-long drug suspension is the most interesting aspect of the Yankees, who enter the season with a health-challenged rotation, rebuilt bullpen and lineup that was among the least potent in the American League last year.
''I think we've added a lot of good young arms,'' manager Joe Girardi said. ''Added some good young players, as well. I think we've really seen an improvement in our young minor league players and the impact they are capable of having. I think we will continue to see that for years to come.''
If the Yankees founder, young players could be given more of a chance. Top prospects include pitcher Luis Severino, infielders Jose Pirela and Rob Refsnyder, and outfielder Aaron Judge.
But first, many of the old, beaten-up players will be given a chance to show they have something left.
Left fielder Brett Gardner (abdomen) and right fielder Carlos Beltran (elbow) return from surgery, and Jacoby Ellsbury (oblique) missed a significant stretch of spring training. First baseman Mark Teixeira (wrist) hit .216 last year, 143rd among 148 major league qualifiers in his return from an injury that sidelined him for most of 2013.
After signing a big-money deal with the Yankees, catcher Brian McCann was hitting just .209 in May before improving in the second half to finish at .232. Third baseman Chase Headley, acquired from San Diego in July, was given a new contract by the Yankees because they have no confidence in A-Rod's ability to play the field. New York also re-signed Stephen Drew under the theory he can't be as bad as he was in 2014.
Didi Gregorius, obtained from Arizona in a trade, is the primary offensive newcomer and replaces Jeter at shortstop. Left-handed-hitting Garrett Jones hopes to earn at-bats.
''Jeter is still Jeter. Everything that everybody is going to talk about is Jeter,'' Gregorius said. ''But for me - I'm learning and I'm there just to play the game, so just trying to focus on the game and trying to win every game, that's all I can say, not worrying about what's going on around.''
LIGHTNING ROD: The three-time AL MVP, who turns 40 on July 27, has not played a full season since 2007 because the suspension, operations on both hips and other injuries. New York owes him $61 million over the final three seasons of his contract, so he will be given a chance to earn at-bats as a DH, especially against left-handed starters.
RICKETY ROTATION: Masahiro Tanaka missed 2 1/2 months in his first season because of a small elbow ligament tear the Yankees say didn't need surgery. CC Sabathia, limited to eight starts last year, has to show he can pitch effectively with reduced velocity. Michael Pineda, back from shoulder surgery, had a 1.89 ERA in 13 starts last year but missed a long stretch because of the shoulder. New York hopes hard-throwing Nathan Eovaldi can learn to be effective after his acquisition from Miami. With Chris Capuano on the DL and Ivan Nova not expected back from Tommy John surgery until May or June, Adam Warren was the leading contender for fifth starter.
BULLPEN: A strong point last year, the Yankees rebuilt the `pen. David Robertson was allowed to leave for the Chicago White Sox, and David Phelps, Shawn Kelley and Shane Greene were traded. Lefty Andrew Miller and Scott Baker were signed, and Justin Wilson and Chris Martin acquired in trades. Miller and Dellin Betances competed in spring training to replace Robertson as closer.
HOPS: The Yankees are sharing their ballpark with Major League Soccer's expansion New York City team, and Teixeira complained before the soccer team's home opener that the infield would get torn up, leading to bad hops.
TORONTO: TORONTO (AP) - The upcoming season for the Toronto Blue Jays seems destined to be defined by the one young pitcher who'll miss it and the two even younger guys who'll try to replace him.
Toronto's plans for ending baseball's longest active playoff drought took a serious hit when Marcus Stroman suffered a season-ending knee injury in spring training.
The second-year right-hander tore a ligament when his knee buckled as he backed off a bunt during a pregame fielding drill. He's out for the year after undergoing surgery.
''It's tough,'' Stroman said. ''I just feel like I let my team down. I've worked harder than I ever had this offseason.''
The injury changed Toronto's thinking about 22-year-old right-hander Aaron Sanchez, who might have been closing games rather than starting them if Stroman was still healthy, and 21-year-old lefty Daniel Norris, the van-dwelling surfer dude.
The two pitchers now look likely to get their shot in Toronto's rotation, slotting in behind 200-inning workhorses R.A Dickey and Mark Buehrle, and 24-year-old right-hander Drew Hutchison.
How successful they are could well determine what happens to the Blue Jays, out of the postseason since winning their second straight World Series in 1993 and the only team that hasn't reached the playoffs this century.
''We may have to rely on a young guy who may not be proven,'' manager John Gibbons said. ''Stro was a baby, too, but a special guy.''
Sanchez has already shown signs that he could also be special. He excelled out of the bullpen in 24 games last season, posting three saves and a 1.09 ERA in 33 innings, striking out 27 while walking nine and holding opponents to a .128 average.
With the increased demands of a starting role lying ahead, the hard-throwing Sanchez has spent this spring refining his slider.
''With the way he throws, it could turn into a big strikeout pitch for him,'' Gibbons said.
The Blue Jays are also high on Norris, currently better known for spending his winters searching for prime surfing spots while living out of a 1978 Volkswagen camper van nicknamed ''Shaggy.''
''He's a different bird,'' Gibbons said. ''Anytime you live in a van, I wouldn't say that's normal.''
Norris had an abnormal 2014 season, rising from Class A to the majors after going 12-2 with a 2.53 ERA at three minor league stops. He underwent elbow surgery last October to remove bone spurs, and expects to be better this year than the pitcher who made five appearances for the Blue Jays in September.
''He's a student of the game,'' Gibbons said. ''He's a very smart kid and he's grounded. He's got the most important thing: He's got a great arm.''
After Jose Reyes and the Blue Jays went 83-79, here's what else to watch as they try to move up:
MIGHTY MIGUEL: Sanchez and Norris aren't the only impressive young arms expected to break camp with the Blue Jays. Right-hander Miguel Castro, 20, didn't allow a run in his first five spring appearances, striking out eight and walking none while allowing three hits over nine innings. A hard thrower who stands an imposing 6-foot-5, Castro has put himself in position to jump from Class A, where he went 8-3 with a 2.68 ERA last season, all the way to the majors. ''He looks like a seasoned vet out there, under control, very relaxed,'' Gibbons said.
NEW GUYS, NEW FOCUS: Toronto strengthened its lineup over the winter by signing free agent catcher Russell Martin to a five-year, $82 million contract and acquiring All-Star third baseman Josh Donaldson from Oakland. Slugger Jose Bautista has praised the newcomers for making a difference in the clubhouse with their winning pedigree and intense focus. ''We need something along those lines here every now and then,'' Bautista said. ''It's good to have guys to whom winning matters.''
BLOCKING THE PLATE: Adding Martin gave the Blue Jays a logjam at catcher, where incumbent Dioner Navarro is signed through 2015 and Josh Thole is Dickey's knuckleball specialist. Martin has worked hard this spring to prove he can handle Dickey's floater, which could mean Thole is ticketed for Triple-A. Or, Toronto may yet trade the switch-hitting Navarro to open room at DH for Edwin Encarnacion, who has been slowed this spring by a balky back and may not be able to handle regular duty at first base.

*Yankees-Blue Jays Preview* ===========================

By MATT BECKER STATS Editor

New York (16-9) at Toronto (12-14), 7:07 p.m. EDT

Marco Estrada enjoyed a successful stint in the Toronto Blue Jays' bullpen, but there's reason to believe he could run into trouble in his first start of the season Tuesday night against the New York Yankees.

A night after racking up 14 hits in an 8-5 win over Boston, the Yankees (16-10) were stymied by R.A. Dickey on Monday, finishing with three hits in a 3-1 loss. Alex Rodriguez was hitless in four at-bats and Stephen Drew fell to 0 for 17 in his last five contests for New York, which had a six-game road winning streak snapped.

Yankees infielder Chase Headley said their struggles revolved around Dickey's knuckleball.

"It's really tough because it's so much different than anything that you do," he said. "You can't really prepare for it."

New York won't have to worry about facing another knuckleballer Tuesday and will get two regulars back. Mark Teixeira, hitting .202 with team highs of nine home runs and 20 RBIs, and Brian McCann, second on the team with 15 RBIs, both got Monday off to rest.

Despite Dickey's gem, the Blue Jays (13-14) still have one of baseball's worst ERAs at 4.97. In an effort to shake things up, rookie left-hander Daniel Norris was optioned to Triple-A Buffalo on Friday and Estrada (1-0, 0.84 ERA) will take his place in the rotation. Estrada was 7-6 with a 4.96 ERA in 18 starts for Milwaukee in 2014.

The right-hander has limited left-hander batters to one hit in 16 at-bats and righties haven't fared much better, going 3 for 19. He has allowed one homer, though, one season after serving up a major league-worst 29 in just 150 2-3 innings.

New York's 33 home runs are among the most in baseball.

The Yankees are also one of baseball's top teams in drawing walks with 95 and Estrada has issued five in 10 2-3 innings. New York likes to work the count, averaging 3.98 pitches per plate appearance to rank among the most in the majors. That doesn't seem to bode well for Estrada, who has not pitched more than three innings in six relief appearances this season.

Estrada's only outing against the Yankees came in a relief appearance in 2011.

Michael Pineda (3-0, 3.73) has had no problems issuing base on balls, with an AL-best 16.00 strikeout-to-walk ratio. He has walked two all season, with one coming against the Blue Jays in his first start. The righty allowed two runs and six hits in six innings of a 4-3 win in that one.

Pineda, who gave up two runs and six hits in 5 2-3 innings of Wednesday's 3-2, 13-inning loss to Tampa Bay, lost both starts at Toronto last season despite a 2.25 ERA.

The Blue Jays got all their runs Monday in the eighth inning off relievers Chris Martin and Dellin Betances for a fourth straight home win following a 2-5 start in Toronto. Edwin Encarnacion doubled to tie the game before pinch-hitter Russell Martin singled home the go-ahead run.

Martin is 6 for 11 with two homers and three RBIs in his last three games.

"He's a pro, nothing takes him by surprise," Dickey told MLB's official website.

Encarnacion has gone 10 for 29 during a seven-game hitting streak, raising his average 48 points to .221. He is 6 for 16 with two homers, a double and four RBIs against the Yankees this season and 4 for 16 versus Pineda.

Jose Bautista is 1 for 16 with 10 strikeouts in the season series and 2 for 17 with a homer and seven strikeouts against Pineda.
