Center fielder recovering from a fractured left thumb

BALTIMORE -- Brett Gardner is set to face pitchers for the first time since
fracturing his left thumb, and he hopes to begin a Minor League rehab
assignment by Thursday.
The 25-year-old center fielder joined the Yankees for their trip to Baltimore
and went through light flip-hitting drills on Monday at Camden Yards. He will
take batting practice on Tuesday, and he believes that his thumb is close to
fully healed.
"I really didn't have much discomfort," Gardner said. "I could feel it a
little bit, but I was under the assumption that if I felt anything, I'd just
shut it down and be careful. It's felt better every day."
Gardner has been sidelined since a play at Yankee Stadium on July 25, when he
slid into Athletics second baseman Mark Ellis and reached out to touch the
base with his left hand. The thumb dragged over the base and caught
awkwardly; the fracture was revealed after the game.
Gardner believes that he will be dispatched to play for Triple-A
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Thursday, when the Yankees travel north of the
border to open a four-game series with the Blue Jays.
"Any time you can see some live pitching and swing the bat a little bit, get
some at-bats, it definitely helps," he said.
Manager Joe Girardi is looking forward to mixing Gardner back into the
outfield rotation, but the impression is that Gardner -- who was the Opening
Day starter -- is to serve as a backup to Melky Cabrera.
Utilityman Jerry Hairston Jr. would fall to third on the depth chart once
Gardner returns from the rehab assignment.
"I think a lot of it just depends on how he's feeling and how his at-bats
are," Girardi said. "He hasn't played in a while, and you want to make sure
his legs are under him, because that's a big part of his game."
Though the Yankees will not have Gardner ready to go on Tuesday, when rosters
expand to 40 players, Girardi did hint that the club would call up more than
two pitchers as well as multiple position players, with Francisco Cervelli
and Ramiro Pena likely candidates.
