BALTIMORE -- The Yankees will place Miguel Cairo on the 15-day disabled list
after he strained his left hamstring running out a ground ball Saturday
night. Cairo had been playing almost every day, filling in for injured second
baseman Robinson Cano, who suffered from the same injury.
Cairo is expected to hit the DL on Tuesday, when Cano is expected to rejoin
the Yankees in the opener of a three-game set in Chicago. Cano is making a
final rehab start with Double-A Trenton on Sunday, and batted 7-for-12 with
two doubles and two RBIs in three rehab games before then. During Saturday's
start, Cano tested himself physically, running at full speed.
"He's going to be a pick-me-up for our lineup," manager Joe Torre said.
Cano has been out since June 27, forcing him to miss the remainder of the
season's first half and the All-Star Game. On the year, he's batting .325
with 27 RBIs and 34 runs scored.
Torre said the team's head trainer, Gene Monahan, estimated Cairo would be
out at least three weeks. After Saturday's game, Cairo said he had dealt with
a hamstring injury in the past.
"That's tough, man; that's your legs," he said. "I didn't want to end up like
this."
After a tough June in which Cairo batted .183, he bounced back in July with a
.253 mark, with 10 runs and 11 RBIs in 23 games. Cairo was 1-for-5 in the
Baltimore series, with a two-run double, before being injured.
Cairo is the third Yankee to be disabled with hamstring problems. Cano has
missed more than a month with his injury, and Bubba Crosby -- who was
designated for assignment Friday -- missed nearly a month from mid-May to
mid-June with a strained right hamstring.
Nick Green replaced Cairo in Saturday's game and got the start Sunday, his
seventh with the Yankees since being brought up from Triple-A Columbus when
Cano went on the DL. With Cano coming back, Green will continue to play a
backup utility role.
Pavano to pitch Thursday: Carl Pavano, who has not pitched in a Major League
game since June 2005, will make a rehab start with the Class A Tampa Yankees
on Thursday.
Pavano threw batting practice to several of his teammates last week,
including Saturday, and will throw a bullpen session Monday in Tampa, Fla.
Thursday will be the first of a series of rehab starts, which will allow
Pavano to rebuild his arm strength and endurance.
"He's ready to go," Torre said. "We're very enthused about what we saw
yesterday."
Pavano also said he was very excited to be pitching in a game. If his rehab
outings go well, Pavano could make a few starts with the Yankees down the
stretch in September.
"That's what we're building toward," Torre said.
Pavano was sidelined last season after 17 games due to rotator cuff
tendinitis. He's been battling back from a series of injuries, which includes
surgery to remove a bone chip in his right elbow.
Dotel ready soon? Reliever Octavio Dotel threw again Saturday in a rehab
assignment, and could rejoin the team later this month.
"There's a real possibility he'll be here before Sept. 1," Torre said.
Dotel is recovering from right elbow reconstruction surgery and has missed
the entire season.
Trade upgrade: Before the trade deadline, the Yankees added Bobby Abreu,
Craig Wilson and Cory Lidle. The team is 4-1 since the deadline, and each of
those players has done well so far.
Prior to Sunday's game, Abreu was 7-for-21 (.333) with two doubles in five
games and Wilson is batting .313 with three RBIs in four games. Lidle won his
first start with the team Thursday, giving up one run and four hits in six
innings.
"I don't remember a trade deadline where we improved our team as much as we
did this year," Torre said.
Coming up: Following an off-day Monday, the Yankees begin a stretch of 21
games in 20 days. They kick that off in Chicago with an 8:05 p.m. ET game
Tuesday against the White Sox, with Chien-Ming Wang starting against Freddy
Garcia.
