[新聞] Yanks put Mussina, Pavano on DL

[vodase (日本野球一番)]

OAKLAND -- The Yankees' beleaguered pitching rotation suffered another major
hit on Sunday, as right-handers Mike Mussina and Carl Pavano were both placed
on the 15-day disabled list.
Both players were disabled retroactively, with right-hander Chris Britton
joining the club from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to help a staff that
entered Sunday having played two consecutive extra-inning games at Oakland.

No starting pitcher has yet been named to fill the two vacancies in the
rotation, though at Triple-A, top prospect Phil Hughes would be on the fifth
day of rest if he were summoned to fill in Tuesday against the Indians.
Another candidate could be Double-A left-hander Chase Wright, who leads the
Eastern League with 19 strikeouts in 14 innings.

Mussina strained his left hamstring in the third inning of his appearance on
Wednesday at Minnesota, and Pavano was scratched from a scheduled start
Saturday due to stiffness in his right forearm.

The hurlers join a corps of walking wounded that includes right-handers
Chien-Ming Wang and Jeff Karstens, who were expected to be members of the
Yankees' starting rotation but suffered injuries in Spring Training and have
not yet pitched in the Majors this season.

"You just find a way to get through it and deal with these things," Mussina
said. "It's unfortunate, but you have to deal with what you have to deal
with. Nobody's having surgery, nobody's out for three months. Nobody's having
a situation like that. It's a couple of muscle pulls and a strain. It'll be
fine."

The rash of injuries are especially striking because they involve Pavano, who
missed the last 1 1/2 Major League seasons before finally progressing through
Spring Training healthy and making two starts for New York this season.

"For one reason or another, these things happen," Pavano said. "I've been
through this before. I've just got to keep working. We're going to get on top
of this, and we'll do what it takes. I'm going to get back out there."

Pavano said that his right forearm began to tighten up in the final two
innings of his start at the Metrodome on Wednesday, when he logged his first
Major League victory since May 2005.

He suspects that one of the sidearm throws he made in the contest -- one on a
double play of Joe Mauer in the first inning, and another on a pickoff throw
to first base -- could have caused a strain in the muscular area between his
elbow and forearm.

Pavano had been slated to pitch on Saturday at Oakland, but he was pushed
back to allow the stiffness time to clear up, with an effort for Tuesday
against the Indians in New York targeted. But with Pavano still reporting
issues as of Saturday, the Yankees will need to find another starting pitcher
for that contest.

"It's not where I want to be and not where I need to be," Pavano said. "It
just doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel good to have a time like this when
guys are going down. I need to be part of the staff, but it's not something
that's going to get any better by going out there and trying to be a hero."

Both Mussina and Pavano tested their respective injuries early Sunday at
McAfee Coliseum, but neither was pleased with the results each received.

Mussina performed some light running and briefly attempted to throw off a
mound, but he stopped himself; Pavano performed long-toss and never even took
the bullpen rubber, concerned that revving up his pitch velocity might cause
further discomfort to what he believes is a muscular issue.

"I was going to take a shot and just go out there, and see if I got up on the
mound and it loosened up," Pavano said. "It hasn't been responding the last
three or four days the way I'd like it. Sometimes, a little bit more time
would have taken care of that, and we gave it that little bit extra time.
It's just not good enough."

Mussina said that he is able to play catch and throw, and all things
considered, he believes his situation could have been a lot worse just four
days after suffering the initial injury.

As a right-hander, the left leg affects Mussina's ability to stop, as he
delivers on the mound's downward plane. Mussina said that if the situation
progresses as much in the next four days as it did in the previous four, he
would be in good shape.

"It's smarter to get rid of it and then go pitch," Mussina said. "We'll take
our time and go do it right. If I can improve this much in the next four
days, I'll feel pretty good.

"I don't want to come back to the beginning. I've made a lot of improvements.
I don't want to start over."

小王趕快回來唄!
