Cave, traded in March, began the season in Class AAA and replaced the injured Byron Buxton in center field about two months ago. Cave checked off the names of old teammates now at Target Field: Judge, Greg Bird, Kyle Higashioka, Tyler Wade, Gleyber Torres and Miguel Andujar. “It’s cool to be able to see them on a major-league field,” Cave said. Higgy was really, really good behind the plate and worked really hard.”Following Sunday’s 3-2 loss in Seattle, the Yankees were surely happy to be visiting Minnesota, a club it has dominated since 2002 — and especially recently. It failed to help the Yankees, as Bird went 0 for 3 with two walks, dropping his average to .195.
