Observations from Yankees’ spring training on Tuesday in Tampa:

New reliever turns up heat

Brent Headrick, the lefty reliever whom Yankees personnel were high on entering camp, threw an inning of live batting practice and got up to 96 mph.

Some sick time

After sitting out Monday’s workout due to flu-like symptoms, Ryan McMahon got back on the field Tuesday as a full participant, despite feeling some lingering effects.

Caught my eye

Gerrit Cole and Max Fried threw bullpen sessions side by side Tuesday, and it didn’t take much imagination to envision them throwing back-to-back days atop the Yankees rotation later this year, as long as Cole gets through the rest of his Tommy John rehab without a setback.

Wednesday’s schedule

The Yankees will hold another full-squad workout at Steinbrenner Field.
