Notes: Pavano likely out for season
Giambi's wrist an issue again; Torre congratulates Randolph
By Mark Feinsand / MLB.com

TORONTO -- It looks like Carl Pavano's second season with the Yankees will
officially come to an end on Wednesday without him throwing a single pitch.

Pavano, who fractured two ribs in an automobile accident on Aug. 15, is
still unable to pitch off a mound without pain because of the injury,
so the Yankees will likely shut him down for the rest of the year on
Wednesday.

General manager Brian Cashman said that while the decision has not been
officially made, it would likely be finalized within the next 24 hours.

"He's still not able to throw without experiencing discomfort in his
shoulder because of the injuries he sustained," Cashman said Tuesday
night. "We're talking about it; we'll make a decision tomorrow.
[Shutting him down] is the way we're leaning."

Pavano missed the early part of the season with a bruised buttocks,
then underwent surgery in May to remove a bone chip from his right
elbow. He appeared to be on track to rejoin the Yankees in late August,
but on Aug. 30, it was revealed that he had been involved in the auto
accident and broken his ribs, pushing his return back for at least
two more weeks.

Pavano has been throwing on flat ground, but his rib injuries have
prevented him from throwing off a mound. According to Cashman, the
pitcher isn't able to comfortably extend his arm to finish his release,
causing tightness in his shoulder.

"He explains that he can't throw with proper mechanics because of his
ribs," said Cashman, who received the latest information from the
team's medical staff but had not spoken with Pavano.

Pavano had been scheduled to throw a bullpen session for pitching
coach Ron Guidry on Friday when the Yankees play at Tropicana Field,
but that won't happen now.

Pavano hasn't pitched in the Majors since June 27, 2005, missing the
second half of the 2005 season with rotator cuff tendinitis. He is
halfway through his four-year, $39.95 million contract, which expires
after the 2008 season.

Wrist watch:  Jason Giambi's sore left wrist has
become an issue again, as he left Tuesday night's game in the fifth
inning due to the injury.

Before the game, Giambi said that he talked last weekend with team
physician Dr. Stuart Hershon about the possibility of getting another
cortisone injection in his wrist, which would be his third this month.

Giambi said that his wrist felt like "a 3 out of 10" before he received
the shots, improving to an 8 or 9 following the injections. Tuesday,
he said it had deteriorated to a 7 on that scale.

"I'm just going to keep getting treatment, and after we clinch, maybe
I'll get some rest," Giambi said. "If it gets [worse], I'll shoot it
again."

Lining 'em up:  The Yankees will start Chien-Ming Wang
on Friday to open the four-game series in Tampa Bay, followed by Randy
Johnson, Mike Mussina and Jaret Wright.

The four pitchers all threw over the weekend in the two doubleheaders
against the Red Sox, so the Yankees had the option of lining them up
in several different ways. Manager Joe Torre stressed that the decision
had nothing to do with a potential postseason rotation order.

"You can read anything you want, but we're not sure what we're doing
yet," Torre said. "Because there's wiggle room, we can do anything we
want once we clinch."

It takes two:  Kyle Farnsworth ranks fourth in the
American League with 68 appearances this season, but Torre doesn't plan
on using the setup man for more than two consecutive days over the final
two weeks of the season.

That plan included Monday night, when New York needed four relievers
to hold a four-run lead in the ninth inning, as Farnsworth was unavailable.

"Two days in a row is probably what we should do with him," Torre said.
"We've noticed that if you give him that day off, he's more consistent
with his stuff."

Congratulatory call: Torre gave Mets manager Willie
Randolph a call on Monday night to congratulate him on his first division
title as a manager. The Mets clinched the National League East at Shea
Stadium on Monday, becoming the first team this season to qualify for
the postseason.

"I told him how proud he should be and how proud I was of him," Torre said.

Randolph served as Torre's third-base coach from 1996-2003, then as his
bench coach in 2004.

Coming up: The Yankees close out their three-game series against the
Blue Jays on Wednesday, as Sean Henn takes on Roy Halladay. First pitch
is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. ET.
