J.C. Escarra

Wells was a big disappointment in his first postseason last year, but the Yankees certainly haven't held if against him. He's set to serve as the team's leadoff man against righties initially, and he's due to play plenty against lefties, too, since his backup, J.C. Escarra, is also left-handed.

28-year-old catcher J.C. Escarra has officially been informed he's made the Yankees' Opening Day roster.
