Jeter, A-Rod, ‘Sado Dinged
Via Anthony DiComo:
When the Yankees boarded their flight to Seattle late Wednesday afternoon, they took with them a slew of injured players and no easy answers.
Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez, both hit by pitches, are questionable for Thursday’s series opener against the Mariners — Rodriguez more uncertain than Jeter. Catcher Jorge Posada, who took a foul ball off his right hand and a series of other pitches off his body during Wednesday’s 4-3 win over the Blue Jays, is also unsure whether he will play. And closer Mariano Rivera, who woke up Wednesday with a sore right shoulder, is similarly in question.
Just like that, the Yankees went from being remarkably healthy to quite incomplete, and they cannot be sure of the status of their wounded players until they wake up Thursday.
Jose Molina, Jerry Hairston Jr., and Ramiro Pena, com’on down….!
I blame Cashman for this. As general manager, he’s got to anticipate three of his starters getting hit by pitches in the same game at some random point in the season and have all-stars waiting on the bench to take their place the next day. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable expectation.
Come home, Cody Ransom…all is forgiven.
