Update 5:17 PM: Jeter had an MRI today and it was negative. Probably will go day-to-day with him. He wanted to play today.
UPDATE, 5:40 p.m.: We just spoke to Jeter, who said he wanted to play but admitted he had some difficulty running last night. He hopes to be able to play tomorrow and will be receiving treatment.Xavier Nady is headed for Tampa tomorrow and the plan is for him to play four innings in right field on Friday. He has not let a throw go yet but believes his elbow is at 85-90 percent.
Update 5:54 PM: This is hilarious. Brian Cashman is holding a press conference for Spanish-speaking reporters and it’s being broadcast to the press box. He is giving answers through a translator. Apparently C-Money took some truth serum before he sat down. He has so far said:
• Damaso Marte may need surgery on his shoulder to figure out what his wrong.
• Brian Bruney “lied” to him about his elbow. “It drives me nuts,” Cashman said. Cashman said he went to Scranton to see Bruney’s rehab the first time around. “It was a waste of a two-and-half-hour drive,” he said. He compared injured players to pets because they can’t or won’t tell you what is wrong.
• Cashman said the team is better with Cabrera in center and Swisher in right. Not with Brett Gardner in the lineup.
Play by Play of the game will be on the blog. Updated every half an inning.
