NYDailyNews: Pudge day-to-day after collision at plate
ARLINGTON - Pudge Rodriguez suffered a bruised right knee after a collision at home plate with Texas’ David Murphy, but the injury doesn’t look like it will cost the catcher any time.
The Yankees said Rodriguez was day-to-day, though Jose Molina was set to catch today with Mike Mussina on the mound, giving Rodriguez an extra day to recover.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Hideki Matsui took 37 swings of batting practice on the field at the Yankees’ complex in Tampa yesterday, taking another step toward a return from the disabled list. Matsui said he has become more comfortable with the brace he is wearing on his swollen left knee, and he will begin a running program today.
WOE could use a healthy Matsui.
Update: Andy Pettitte likely to miss next start.
As if the Yankees didn’t have enough problems in the starting rotation already, it now appears that Andy Pettitte might be forced to miss his next start.
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Pettitte has been experiencing stiffness in his left arm, though it is unclear whether it is his shoulder or elbow that has been bothering him.
Is there anyone healthy on this team?
Thanks to yankeemonkey for the link.
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE:
Never mind.
