Yankees finalize 25-man roster for Opening Day

 
The New York Yankees have their opening day roster. Right-handers Edwar Ramirez, Jose Veras, Darrell Rasner and Scott Patterson, along with left-hander Kei Igawa and infielder Nick Green were all reassigned by the Yankees after Friday night's exhibition game against the Florida Marlins. Those decisions, along with ones to place left-handed starter Andy Pettitte and right-handed reliever Jeff Karstens on the 15-day disabled list, get the Yankees to the 25-man limit for opening day.
