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. http://bleacherreport.com/tb/a4n0J -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 59.113.180.225
