MLB.com: Injured Damon suffers mild setback
TAMPA, Fla.—Yankees left fielder Johnny Damon had his first session of hitting off a tee pushed back at least a couple days because of soreness in his injured left shoulder.
Damon sprained the shoulder when he ran into the left-field fence while attempting to catch a ball on July 4.
“Had a little tough time sleeping last night,” Damon said after undergoing treatment Monday at the Yankees’ Minor League complex. “Today it felt a little sore. We’re just going to hold back the swinging at least two more days. Hopefully, it won’t be too long of a time.”
It doesn’t sound like he will be back anytime before next week. WOE will have to make due without him until then.
