Notes: Dotel close to joining Yankees
Reliever heading to Trenton to finish rehab assignment
By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com
PHILADELPHIA -- Octavio Dotel walked into the Yankees' clubhouse on Monday at
Citizens Bank Park, but the right-hander was not there to join his teammates
in the bullpen.
Dotel was just passing by for a few days on his way to Double-A Trenton,
where he plans on finishing his rehab assignment this weekend.
The pitcher had hoped to be ready to return to the Majors on Monday, but a
small case of tendinitis behind his right elbow -- the same elbow that he had
Tommy John surgery on last summer -- backed him up by a few days.
"It [ticked] me of a little bit," Dotel said. "The way I was thinking, I had
planned to be here. Now, I have to wait a couple more days. Hopefully it will
go away and I will be here soon."
Dotel consulted with Dr. James Andrews, the orthopedist that performed the
surgery, and Andrews told him that this was normal for any pitcher working
his way back from elbow surgery.
That reinforcement was comforting for Dotel, but not comforting enough to
erase any concerns from his mind.
"You have to worry about it; you're coming off Tommy John surgery, and it's
not an easy surgery," Dotel said. "The day after I pitched, when I woke up
and had that feeling, that night I didn't sleep. I kept thinking, 'Now what?'"
Apparently, the Yankees' Minor League medical staff wasn't concerned enough
by the tendinitis to send him for any additional tests. He will receive
treatment from the Yankees' training staff for the next three days before
heading to Trenton on Thursday.
"Whenever he's ready for us," manager Joe Torre said. "We've taken a
conservative approach with him because of the nature of the surgery. A little
tendinitis is no big deal."
Dotel last pitched in a game on Friday, throwing 1 1/3 innings for Triple-A
Columbus. He woke up on Saturday with a strange feeling in his elbow, and
after taking that day off, he played catch on Sunday.
Dotel has been throwing his fastball between 93-95 mph, his sinker about 91
and his slider about 88. He knows that it will take some time for him to be
back at 100 percent, but he feels his stuff is good enough to contribute at
the big-league level.
"I felt great before that; that day, I was ready to go in my mind," he said
of Friday's outing. "When you have plans in your mind and those plans go
away, you get frustrated."
Mr. Clutch? Despite the perception that Alex Rodriguez has not been able to
perform in the clutch this season, the statistics indicate otherwise.
A-Rod, whose RBI double in the eighth inning on Sunday would have been the
game-winner until Chien-Ming Wang allowed a two-run walk-off homer by
Washington's Ryan Zimmerman, has four go-ahead RBIs this season in the
seventh inning or later, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
Only Texas' Michael Young and Minnesota's Justin Morneau, who each have five,
have more than A-Rod among all American League players.
Farnsworth ready: Kyle Farnsworth was back in the bullpen on Monday, having
missed the past two games after suffering back spasms on Friday night.
The Yankees' entire bullpen was a little more rested after Wang went the
distance in a complete-game loss on Sunday.
"He said he was ready [Sunday], so we believe we have everybody," Torre said.
"We may be overstocked."
New York currently has 13 pitchers on its staff, having called up Jose Veras
on Sunday morning. Once Farnsworth shows Torre and pitching coach Ron Guidry
that the back issue is behind him, the Yanks will likely go back to 12 arms
on Tuesday.
"I just have to finish the night knowing that Farnsworth is OK," Torre said.
"I'm assuming he'll be fine."
Making moves: The Yankees released Scott Erickson on Monday, having
designated him for assignment on June 11.
Nick Green, who was designated for assignment on June 15, cleared waivers and
was outrighted to Columbus.
Carl throws: Carl Pavano was back with the Yankees on Monday, kicking off the
throwing portion of his rehab program.
Pavano, who underwent surgery to remove a bone chip from his right elbow last
month, threw 25 pitches on flat ground at a distance of 45 feet. He then sat
down, got up again and repeated the exercise.
The right-hander, who hasn't pitched since June 2005, remains on pace for a
mid-August return.
Hot Hughes: Philip Hughes struck out a season-high 11 on Sunday, leading
Trenton to a 4-2 win over Binghamton. Hughes pitched seven innings, giving up
two runs on six hits and two walks.
Coming up: The Yankees and Phillies play the second game of their three-game
set on Tuesday, as Mike Mussina takes on Cory Lidle. First pitch is scheduled
for 7:05 p.m. ET.
