According to Zack Britton, the Yankees were considering channeling crowd noise to the match at the Yankee Stadium, which would be without customers.
“I think it’s a good idea if they will allow steady crowd noise to be pumped in. That will be good for the men, obviously it has become very calm,” Britton said on Thursday night at the Stadium. “I have heard about teams, including our team, who might be exploring putting some kind of crowd throughout the game. I’m not sure how hard it will be and what it looks like, but I think it’s a good idea, and our team will like it and create a kind of atmosphere at the stadium. “
Kyle Higashioka was unsure but certainly wasn’t against it.
“I don’t know. I don’t think I will oppose it,” he said. “We have some light music out there while we play to break the dead silence. It was better than the first day, where we only played in the abyss, only the void of sound. I would not oppose crowd noise. ‘

Manager Aaron Boone has no new information about Masahiro Tanaka (concussion) other than a pitcher that works a bit outdoors for the third day in a row.
Deivi Garcia was a long blow to make the Yankees pitching staff expand when the regular season began on July 23, but what he did on Thursday night was certainly impressive in intrasquadism.
“It’s a good step for him, obviously facing our big boys,” Boone said of the 21-year-old left-handed player – who retired from Mike Tauchman, Andujar and Gary Sanchez (on strike). “Feeling like he left and ran in our summer camp.”
Clint Frazier is DH for the third consecutive intrasquad game. Boone said Frazier was dealing with plantas fasciitis, which made the Yankees take it slow with the outsider. Frazier, who wore a mask throughout his pregame training, fought while wearing one in the second innings when Britton hit him.
Jonathan Loaisiga’s arrival in spring 2.0 training was postponed until Sunday because there were no flights between Nicaragua and New York, but he was not behind other Yankees throwers.
Pitching in the Nicaraguan league right hander worked 8 ¹ / ₃ innings for three matches before leaving.
Because he has worked as a starter (eight games) and relievers (16) in his short major league career, the 25-year-old left-handed player was asked which role he liked.
“I like being a reliever. I like the opportunity it presents, “Loaisiga said.” But nothing was decided. “
