Prior and Soriano taking steps forward

The Yankees will make one move today, officially putting Alex Rodriguez on the
disabled list and adding someone to fill the roster spot.

The list of candidates is long. It’s possible to make a case for Greg Golson,
Chris Dickerson, Brandon Laird, Jorge Vazquez, Kevin Russo… but whoever gets
the call-up, they’re likely to fall into secondary role while Eduardo Nunez
gets the bulk of the starts at third base.

As for future moves, two injured relievers took positive steps forward
yesterday. Here’s the latest from The Associated Press down in Tampa.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) — New York Yankees right-hander Mark Prior is back pitching
after missing almost three months because of a strained groin.

The converted reliever said it was a step in the right direction Wednesday
after allowing an unearned run and one hit over two innings for the Gulf Coast
League Yankees against Atlanta minor leaguers.

In his first outing since pitching on April 18 at Triple-A
Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, Prior threw 24 pitches with a fastball that reached 90
mph.

Prior has struggled with shoulder injuries and made his previous major league
appearance in August 2006. The 30-year old went 18-6 with a 2.43 ERA in 30
starts for the NL Central champion Chicago Cubs in 2003.

Also, Yankees reliever Rafael Soriano threw 25 pitches during his second
batting practice session since going on the disabled list May 17 because of
right elbow inflammation.

Soriano signed a three-year, $35 million deal with New York in the offseason to
handle the eighth inning, but struggled while adapting to the new role. He was
1-1 with a 5.40 ERA in 16 appearances before the injury.

Left-hander Pedro Feliciano, hoping to avoid surgery for a left shoulder tear,
has resumed a light throwing program. Reliever Damaso Marte, coming back from
left shoulder surgery, is continuing to throw off a bullpen mound.

Also, the Yankees have finalized a contract with 24-year old Cuban right-hander
Reinier Casanova and assigned him to the GCL Yankees.
