06/01: Is There a Doctor in the House?
Posted by: James
Greg House perhaps? I prefer Cuddy (or Cameron) myself but that's another story - what matters is that we get this team some doctors!
The health woes of the Yankees continue to climb and Peter Abraham has the goods over at The LoHud Yankees Blog.
Update: More from Pete.
Man, this team is snake-bit right now. Forget the Columbus shuttle - they should reroute that shuttle to carry these guys to the hospital.
Speaking of Columbus, there really aren't any more outfielders at AAA who can be thought of as potential contributers to the big ball club. Remember, Richard Hidalgo was let go a couple days ago so Kevin Reese is the best down there right now. Heck, there really isn't anyone at AA Trenton either (unless you count Bronson Sardinha, who I don't). The next "legit" guy is Brett Gardner and he's slumping a little bit in A Tampa. It looks like we might be seeing Terrence Long for far longer than any of us orginally expected and other clubs won't exactly be forthcoming since they know the Yankees are in something of a bind. The pitching staff becomes even more important now and it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

Gary Sheffield has been diagnosed with a torn ligament in his left wrist and a dislocating (not dislocated) tendon. His wrist has been immobilized and he will be treated with therapy.
Mariano Rivera had a back spasm putting on one of his cleats today and may not be available tonight.
Bubba Crosby isn't making much progress and may not be back in the majors until around June 10.

Brian Cashman said the doctors have recommended that Gary Sheffield try therapy for a period of time. If that doesn't work, surgery would be required. There is no question that Sheffield will be out much longer than two weeks even if the therapy works. Such surgery, if done now, would not be season-ending. Cashman described the latest injury as "additional" to the original problem in his wrist.
