05/13: Injury Updates on Wang, Jeter, Matsui, Coke and Bruney
Posted by: Patrick
Yes, everyone is injured. Thank you for noticing.
After yesterday's solid rehab start, it appears likely the Yankees will give Chien-Ming Wang another one, according to Chad Jennings. Though Brian Cashman wouldn't commit completely one way or the other, it sounds like he'll be making at least one more rehab start.
Jeter was scratched before yesterday's game, but he hopes to play tonight. "I've pulled that muscle before and been on the disabled list two or three weeks," Jeter told Peter Abraham. "I'm trying to avoid that."
Matsui told Abraham that he could have stayed in last night's game, saying that it was not so much a hamstring problem as it was a cramp. He's good to go.
George A. King III of the Post reports that Phil Coke likely was unable to pitch yesterday due to a stiff back. Coke didn't want to talk about it, and hopefully it doesn't become an issue.
Finally, in the same article, King notes that Brian Bruney is scheduled to have a bullpen session today after playing catch on Monday.
If he looks good, the Yankees could add him right back to the Major League roster, according to Joe Girardi. But, if he's not sharp, the team could send him down to Minors for some rehab appearances.
