Clemens Is Planning to Face the Red Sox
By TYLER KEPNER
TORONTO, Sept. 11 —

Roger Clemens rejoined the Yankees on Tuesday, throwing in the bullpen for
Manager Joe Torre and the pitching coach Ron Guidry, and he said he planned
to pitch Sunday at Fenway Park.

“Right now, I fully expect to,” said Clemens, who had cortisone shots in
his inflamed right elbow last Wednesday. “I have full confidence that the
two injections will help me. I had great relief that day. The next day, I
was obviously sore, but I’m doing everything I can to push my body.”

Clemens was removed after four innings on Sept. 3 because of the elbow, and
a magnetic resonance imaging test later showed fraying of the connective
tissue. Clemens acknowledged a ligament problem.

“We’re comparing it to some guys that had some really nasty problems,”
Clemens said. “I’ve definitely done something to it, and that’s why the
muscle was pulling back at times. I’ll keep my fingers crossed.”

Clemens’s right foot has bled because of blisters during each of his last
three starts, which caused him to change spikes and socks. Clemens said he
believed the foot problem caused the elbow injury, the first of his career.

“I can handle the pain in my elbow,” Clemens said. “The problem that I had
was once the muscle locked up, the doc told me from what he saw on the M.R.I.,
the muscle was pretty nasty. That’s just when I lost my control. That’s the
thing that concerns me. I can’t be out there not knowing where the ball’s
going to go.”

Clemens said he threw at about 80 percent exertion in the bullpen and did not
feel elbow pain. He will repeat the exercise Thursday, and Torre said that if
he could not start Sunday, Phil Hughes would.

“We just keep stressing that we don’t need a reasonable facsimile,” Torre
said. “We need him.”

Clemens, 45, said his arm felt “like a piece of wood” during his last start.
If it does not recover soon, he said, he could handle more cortisone
injections.

“The amount that we put in, if I do have a reoccurring problem, I can do it
a couple of more times,” Clemens said. “I hope that’s not the case, but
I’m putting my body through the paces, and that’s just part of it.”

ACHING BACK FOR VIZCAiNO
Reliever Luis Vizcaino woke up Tuesday with back problems, Joe Torre said,
delaying his return from a sore right shoulder.

Vizcaino did not mention the back problem to reporters, but he said he needed
a bit more time before feeling ready to pitch again. He said his sore
shoulder felt better, but he added that he needed to test it by throwing
a bullpen session Wednesday.

“Every year I throw a lot of games, 70-some games,” Vizcaino said.
“Sometimes you have a bad shoulder.”

But Vizcaino, who has pitched more innings than he did for Arizona last
season, said he had never experienced shoulder problems before.

OHLENDORF THE EXPLORER

Why was the song “Backpack, Backpack!” from Dora The Explorer” playing
over the Rogers Center loudspeakers just before Tuesday’s game? Reliever
Ross Ohlendorf, a September call-up, was lugging the pink Yankees backpack
out to the visitors’ bullpen.

Transporting the backpack, which contains gum and candy, is usually the job
of the youngest reliever. But Joba Chamberlain, 21, passed off the duty to
Ohlendorf, 25, who probably never envisioned such chores while playing for
Princeton.

Ohlendorf went 4-4 with a 4.81 earned run average in 26 games this season
for Class A Tampa and Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Acquired from Arizona
last January in the Randy Johnson trade, Ohlendorf was converted to relief
this summer and threw fastballs at speeds up to 97 miles an hour.

“I got away from trying to throw hard as a starter,” he said. “I was
going for movement and control, and I tried to pace myself to pitch deep
into games.”

Ohlendorf, whose best pitch is a sinker, could become a middle reliever and
spot starter whose specialty is ground balls, a role once filled capably by
Ramiro Mendoza.

TAKING A SWING AT FILMMAKING

Todd Zeile, who played for the Yankees in 2003, was a pregame visitor on
the field. Zeile is in town for the Toronto International Film Festival as
the owner of Green Diamond Entertainment, a production company in which the
Yankees’ Jason Giambi is a partner.

Zeile’s company will begin work on a horror movie in Toronto in about six
weeks, he said, and he is also developing a documentary about Dr. Jack
Kevorkian. Now that he has brought in people to run the financial side of
his business, Zeile said he could focus more on content, which he finds most
appealing.

“It’s a creative outlet for me,” Zeile said. “I like to read scripts and
have input in all that we do.”
