Locastro said Thursday that he's 100% recovered from the ACL surgery he underwent last July, Sweeny Murti of Sports Radio 66 WFAN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Locastro was signed by the Yankees on March 13 after the Red Sox claimed, and then let him go, in November of last year. The 29-year-old's specialty is speed, and he showed that his surgically repaired knee is sound by swiping second base after hitting a single in Friday's Grapefruit League game against Philadelphia. Locastro appears to have a path to an Opening Day roster spot as New York's backup center fielder, but he may feature primarily as a pinch runner given his struggles so far as a big-league hitter.
