[新聞] Johnson Is Expected to Be Out Several Weeks

[decorum (Brave New World)]

泥漿嬸進DL了，大概要好幾個禮拜才能回來。
第二棒會由Gardner 和 Swisher 取代，但吉總認為Gardner
打後段棒比較好。DH 則由A-Rod, Posada, Teixeira 輪.
從3A叫上來工具人 Kevin Russo.

去年季後買/交易過來的4個大將，已經傷了3個，
而健康的瓦哥卻得了ERA肥大症....

Johnson Is Expected to Be Out Several Weeks

By BEN SHPIGEL
Published: May 8, 2010

Yankees designated hitter Nick Johnson, heading home against the Orioles last
week, has an inflamed tendon in his right wrist.

A torn tendon sheath in that same wrist required surgery in 2008 and limited
him to 38 games for Washington, but it was unclear whether Johnson had
injured the same tendon. Even before receiving the results of the M.R.I.
test, the Yankees anticipated losing him for a while, and they recalled the
utility player Kevin Russo from Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

After Friday’s game, Johnson said that his wrist had been bothering him for
a bit but that he lost strength in it while taking a swing in the first
inning. He stayed in for another at-bat, then was replaced at designated
hitter in the fifth. Johnson received an injection of anti-inflammatory
medication and will remain in New York for treatment by the head trainer Gene
Monahan.

“I really don’t have an idea at all,” Manager Joe Girardi said when asked
how much time Johnson was expected to miss.

Johnson’s .388 on-base percentage could not conceal his struggles at the
plate, where he batted .138 in April. The Yankees had been considering
dropping him from the No. 2 spot in the lineup, and now they have no choice.
Brett Gardner slid into that role Saturday, but Girardi indicated before the
game that Nick Swisher could expect to hit there more regularly.

“It’s easier for him to run more down further in the lineup,” Girardi said
of Gardner.

In Johnson’s absence, the Yankees do not plan to use a regular designated
hitter. Marcus Thames should assume the bulk of those duties, but Girardi
will also use that role to rotate in Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, Jorge
Posada and other veterans. Posada was held out of the lineup for a fourth
straight game, but he said that his strained right calf muscle felt much
better and that Girardi did not listen to his pleas to play Saturday.

“Yeah, it didn’t work out,” said Posada, who expects to serve as the
designated hitter Sunday night and then catch Monday in Detroit.

With their infield options limited, the Yankees found Russo’s versatility
appealing. Already this season, Russo, who was batting .302, has played five
positions for Scranton — second base, shortstop, third base, center field
and right field. He said he learned of his call-up around 11 p.m. Friday and
flew to Boston from North Carolina, where Scranton was playing in Durham, on
Saturday morning. His flight landed at 11 a.m., and he went right to Fenway
Park.

“It just opens options for you,” Russo said of his versatility. “You never
know if I just stuck at one position if I would have been called up.”
