NEW YORK — Hideki Matsui took batting practice on the field for the first
time since breaking his wrist on May 11. He sprayed line drives and fouled
off a handful of pitches before stroking a home run to right field, one of
three he hit during the session.
"Not too bad," Matsui said. "The first couple I was focusing on hitting the
other way. The latter half I was just reacting to the pitch. If I wanted to
play now I think I could play. It's a matter of the club telling me when."
The plan is for Matsui to continue taking BP and wait for clearance to begin
a rehab assignment, probably for Double-A Trenton during the Thunder's
playoff run. Joe Torre deemed those chances 50-50 and said he'll decide the
next step by the time the Yankees go on the road next week.
SAFE WITH MO
Mariano Rivera's pitching arm felt sore one day after earning his 33rd save.
Alarms went off around the Yankees when the veteran closer underwent an MRI
Thursday, which showed only a mild muscle strain at the elbow, but no
structural damage. Rivera was not available Friday and did not throw, but
said he'd be ready on Saturday and hopes the planned rest will keep him ready
for October.
In the interim, Rivera will continue his treatment and will not receive a
cortisone shot, which was not part of the discussion.
"With the treatment and everything, hopefully everything will be fine,"
Rivera said. "If it doesn't go the way it's supposed to go, I have to rest a
little more."
Torre would like to avoid using Rivera three days in a row - and working more
than an inning - for the rest of the season, and is even contemplating not
using him the next couple of days.
"You just take as good a care of him and give him more rest than you would
under normal conditions," Torre said. "He's too important for us to take a
chance with, so let's just take the warning of the irritation that's there
and behave accordingly."
Kyle Farnsworth was the closer Friday.
GIAMBI TAKES A SHOT
Jason Giambi reportedly received a cortisone shot to alleviate pain in his
left wrist following Thursday's game. Hoping the shot would prevent him from
missing any time, Giambi was in Friday's lineup as the designated hitter.
An MRI on the wrist given between games of Wednesday's doubleheader revealed
only inflammation. Neither Torre nor Brian Cashman knew if Giambi did in fact
receive a shot, and Giambi was unavailable for comment Friday afternoon.
QUICK HITS
Derek Jeter had three hits and is batting .342, eight behind Minnesota's Joe
Mauer for the AL lead. While Mauer's fourth-inning single snapped an 0-for-16
skid, Jeter is 8-for-15 (.533) on the current homestand and is riding a
12-game hitting streak, one short of his season high...The Yankees added
catcher Wil Nieves, and right-handers T.J. Beam and Jose Veras to their
expanded roster Friday. Outfielder Mitch Jones was designated for
assignment..."It'll definitely give us a little more length where we won't
have to worry about using people we don't want to use in games that they
should be saved," Torre said of his bullpen additions. "We're confident that
they'll do more than suck up innings. They can get outs too."...Tanyon
Sturtze (right rotator cuff surgery) was in the clubhouse to clean out his
locker...Twins right-hander Brad Radke has a stress fracture in the glenoid
of his right shoulder, something not found in an MRI taken three weeks ago.
Twins team physician Dr. Dan Buss said it's a rare condition and ordered
Radke to not throw for two-to-three weeks. Buss added there is a chance Radke
can pitch before the end of the season.
