[新聞] Posada ready to return to Bombers
Jorge Posada's anticipated return to the lineup is great news for the
Yankees. For Posada himself, it's one day overdue.
Posada is slated to be back in the lineup Wednesday after missing the
past 15 games with a fractured right foot, but the catcher was visibly
irritated that the Yankees had opted not to activate him Tuesday night.
"I'd be happy if (Wednesday) was (Tuesday); I need to play," Posada said.
"I thought I was coming off the DL (Tuesday) and that I would be in
there. They say no, so I can't do nothing about it. Just get ready for
(Wednesday)."
Posada has been out since May 17, having suffered a fracture in his foot
the day before when a Michael Cuddyer foul ball struck the catcher. The
team expected to be without Posada for three or four weeks, although
Posada maintained all along that he would be ready to return when his
15 days were up.
The Yankees have no plans to send Posada on a minor-league rehab
assignment, as Joe Girardi said he likes the way Posada has been swinging
the bat during his rehab work.
Posada's catching equipment will be altered to give him more protection
from foul balls on the top of his feet, but he doesn't foresee any
restrictions. Still, he expects to be the DH Wednesday, and judging by
the Yankees' history of being cautious, possibly another game or two after
that.
ROCKIN' ROBBIE
Robinson Cano's 2010 season continued on its torrid roll Tuesday when he
was named the American League's Player of the Week. In six games last week,
Cano hit a major league-best .565 (13-for-23) with a homer (a grand slam
vs. the Indians), five runs scored and nine RBI. Five of his 13 hits were
extra base hits. Cano also finished the week with an .870 slugging
percentage.
"His season so far has been amazing," Girardi said. "How consistently
he's hit the ball - whether it's been lefthanders or righthanders - to
me it just shows that he's maturing."
Cano went 2-for-4 with a pair of singles Tuesday night to extend his
hitting streak to 15 games, the longest by a Yankee this season, and
is now hitting .366 with 11 homers and 40 RBI. It's the second award
of the season for Cano, who was also selected as April's AL Player of
the Month.
PENCIL ME IN
Derek Jeter was in the lineup Tuesday night after being pulled in the
seventh inning on Monday. His left hamstring had tightened up after he
was hit with a pitch. On Tuesday Jeter called it a "non-issue."
For Jeter, who went 2-for-3 with a double and a run scored Tuesday
night, there was never any doubt he'd be in the lineup.
