Brett Gardner finished 1-2 with an RBI and a walk against the Nationals. Gardner has mainly hit second this spring, but only has a .222 batting average.
Fantasy Impact
Both Gardner and Ellsbury will get opportunities as the leadoff hitter this spring and will both lead off at times this season. Ellsbury only has an .083 BA as the leadoff hitter this spring, so Gardner will get opportunities to lead off soon. If Gardner is not the leadoff hitter for the Yankees, look for him to provide speed at the bottom of the lineup.
