The Yankees placed Brett Gardner on the 15-day disabled list last night after he broke his left thumb sliding into second early on in the game against Oakland. Gardner remained in the game and made a few nice defensive plays and also had a triple in the game.

Jonathan Albaladejo was called up to take his spot on the roster, but the Yankees plan on eventually bringing up an outfielder. Perhaps Shelley Duncan will finally get the call, as he's been raking in Scranton all season (.923 OPS, 25 HR, 75 RBI in 86 games) but he is also just 5 for his last 37.
