Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Mike Tauchman will join the Yankees in Washington.

A scout familiar with the 28-year-old outfielder, who was acquired Saturday from Colorado and forced Tyler Wade off the Opening Day roster, believes the Yankees made a smart move getting him.

“He can play center field. I put him in at a 55 defender [on a scale from 20 to 80]. He has good makeup and he always hit in the minor leagues. I don’t think the big-league numbers represent what he is,” the scout said of Tauchman, who has seen limited big-league time.

In 606 minor-league games, the left-handed-hitting Tauchman has a career average of .304. He has played in 52 big-league games and is a .153 hitter. Tauchman batted .196 in 24 spring training games this year.

Clint Frazier entered camp looking to cut into Brett Gardner’s playing time and was sent to the minors on Friday. Sunday he went 1-for-3 with three RBIs.

Luis Cessa figures to play an important role on the Yankees pitching staff, but his final spring outing consisted of him giving up a run in 1 1/3 innings.

Luke Voit and Frazier got caught trying to steal bases in the first and third innings. Voit got nailed attempting to steal third for the final out.

Monday’s schedule: If the rain holds off, the Yankees will end the spring season in Washington.
