J.C. Escarra knocked in five runs with a triple, a single and a sac fly for the Aguilas Cibaenas of the Dominican Winter League on Friday.

Escarra spent the second half of last season in Triple-A after the Yankees figured out it really didn’t make sense to pair Austin Wells with a fellow left-handed hitter behind the plate. That should get sorted out this winter, with the Yankees bringing in a better backup than Ali Sánchez and hopefully sending Escarra to a team with which he’d be a more useful No. 2 catcher.
