Gardner arrived in the Yankees clubhouse with his thumb tightly wrapped in adhesive tape. An X-ray of the thumb taken just before the game came back negative. Gardner said he had undergone treatment earlier in the day and that the injury had responded somewhat. "There's nothing going on in there like last year," said Gardner, who suffered the break last July when his thumb slammed against second base while trying to break up a double play. "Hopefully, it's nothing and I'll just be day to day." Gardner was removed for a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning of Tuesday night's 12-7 Yankees victory, and afterward manager Joe Girardi said Gardner "dinged" the thumb during an at-bat early in the game against Kevin Millwood. "It's probably happened to him 20 or 30 times since the injury, and it always comes back the next day," Girardi said. "This time, it didn't come back, and that is a concern." Gardner said he felt the discomfort in his thumb on a check swing during his third-inning at-bat but remained in the game, singling in a run in the seventh before leaving for pinch-hitter Marcus Thames. Gardner remained in the game last July 26, also, after breaking his thumb in the first inning. He later tripled and made two diving catches in center field before informing Girardi of the injury after the game. "There's definitely a little bit of discomfort, so first things first, let's get an X-ray," Gardner said. Girardi said he thought Gardner would be available Wednesday as a defensive replacement or as a pinch runner. In Gardner's place, rookie Kevin Russo started in left. In 55 games this season, Gardner is hitting .314 with three home runs, 19 RBIs and a team-high 20 steals, three more than the rest of the team combined. His .395 on-base percentage is third among Yankee regulars, behind only Robinson Cano (.410) and Nick Swisher (.397). -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 114.43.2.6
