Jeter SS

Teixeira 1B
Rodriguez 3B
Cano 2B
Matsui DH
Swisher RF
Gardner CF
Cash C

As you all know, Melky Cabrera was hurt yesterday attempting to get a fly ball but missed and his shoulder landed on the wall. I was told that he is fine and that there going to go Day-to Day on him. Also, as reported by the AP, Jorge Posada was in a 5 inning intrasquad game and he might come back as soon as Friday when the Yankees play against the Indians.

Today's pitching matchup
A.J Burnett(2-2, 5.28 ERA) vs Derek Holland(1-1, 4.82 ERA)
Today is the rubber game between these two teams, so the Yankees are looking to take 2 out of 3 from the Rangers.
Update 7:06 PM: Injury Updates from Pete:
Melky Cabrera: He had an MRI and will be sent back to New York tomorrow to be examined by team doctor Chris Ahmad. The initial diagnosis is that he will be out 5-7 days. If it’s more than that, they will probably DL him and call up an infielder.
Brian Bruney: Dr. James Andrews checked him out and he came up clean. No ligament issue. He has a flexor muscle strain and whatever pain he still has is a residual of that. He will rest and start a throwing program. Because Bruney fibbed about how he felt last time, you can bet he’ll out at least another 2-3 weeks at least.
Jorge Posada: He will be activated on Friday in Cleveland unless he gets hit by a bus in Tampa. He’s probably only going to work out tomorrow. Joe Girardi it was a “strong possibility” that Posada would be activated which is way of saying, “Posada will be activated.”
