NEW YORK — As their rivals in Boston are seemingly losing a player a
dayto injury, the reinforcements are slowly beginning to trickle in for the
Yankees.
While Mike Mussina is scheduled to pitch Tuesday in Kansas City, and
Hideki Matsui and Gary Sheffield appear to be on track for their respective
returns, backup infielder Andy Phillips made his yesterday.
Phillips was activated off the 15-day disabled list after missing 14
games with a strained rib muscle, He suffered the injury on Aug. 17 against
the Baltimore Orioles. He spent time rehabbing at the Yankees' minor-league
complex in Tampa, Fla., strengthening his lower back and abdomen.
Phillips didn't play in any rehab games but took plenty of live batting
practice, saying he could see more pitches that way as opposed to getting
maybe three or four at-bats during an actual game. He proclaimed himself
100 percent and said he is looking forward to helping the Yankees try to
lock up a playoff spot.
"This time of the year is exciting anyway," said Phillips, who didn't
see any action against the Twins yesterday. "You're getting there and kind
of see the light at the end of the tunnel. It's always fun with the teams
we've been playing. And to be here is obviously exciting."
The addition of Craig Wilson will cut into Phillips' playing time.
Theplan,manager Joe Torre said, is to spot Phillips from time to time
and usehim as a defensive replacement late in games since he considers
Phillips the best defensive first baseman on the roster.
Phillips' return to New York Friday was an adventure. After he was
unabletotake his original flight, he had to wait for the next available
one, whichwas delayed. He didn't arrive in the city until 9:45 p.m.,
nearly eight hours after he stepped foot in the airport in Tampa.
"(Friday) was an event," Phillips said. "Let's put it that way."
Moose call: Instead of Randy Johnson starting Tuesday's game in
Kansas City against the Royals on normal rest, it will be Mike Mussina
who takes the hill.
Mussina, battling a strained right groin, has been on the disabled
listsince Aug. 23, missing 11 games. He's been solid this season with a
13-5 record and a 3.61 ERA.
Chien-Ming Wang gets the nod in tomorrow's series opener against the
Royals, looking for his 17th win, and Randy Johnson will go Wednesday.
Around the horn: There's still no firm decision on when Hideki Matsui
will begin his rehab assignment, but it appears he will be joining Class AA
Trenton tomorrow, and will probably play in a game on Tuesday. ... Mariano
Rivera wasn't available again yesterday and won't be for at least two or
three days. Kyle Farnsworth, who hasn't pitched since Aug. 27, will likely
be the closer until Rivera returns. ... Miguel Cairo, out with a strained
hamstring since Aug. 6, is still about a week away from rejoining the team.
