Yankees' Jake Cave: Placed on 40-man roster

Cave was added to the 40-man roster Monday, Brendan Kuty of NJ.com reports.

Over 71 games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre in 2017, Cave hit .324/.367/.554 with 15 home runs. In a currently crowded Yankees outfield, it's difficult to see how Cave fits into the team's 2018 plans.
