NEW YORK -- The Yankees plan to activate Andy Pettitte from the disabled list on
Monday and start the left-hander that night against the Cleveland Indians.
Spencer Hawes Jersey . Pettitte, who turns 41
next month, came out of a start against Seattle on May 16 because of a tight
left trapezius muscle, near his pitching shoulder. He went on the DL the
following day. Pettitte said Thursday that the injury essentially was a back
spasm. He threw 76 pitches in a simulated game Tuesday in Florida. "I was pretty
locked up back there. If I had to miss a start where we were, with the rotation
and stuff like that, it was probably the best thing to do for the team,"
Pettitte said. "I felt pretty confident that it would just be the two weeks."
Pettitte missed a start in April because of lower back spasms. Hes been unable
to get into a rhythm between starts. "Thats been frustrating for me just because
I have a certain routine, and I want to be on it," he said. "And, obviously,
youve got everyone saying you may be doing too much, you might be doing this,
you might doing that." First baseman Mark Teixeira and third baseman Kevin
Youkilis are likely to be activated for Fridays series opener against Boston
following two-day minor league injury rehabilitation assignments at Double-A
Trenton. Teixeira had a partially torn tendon sheath in his right wrist,
sustained while taking batting practice with the U.S. at the World Baseball
Classic on March 5. Youkilis has not played since April 27 because of a back
injury. "If theyre here tomorrow, Ill be happy. If theyre here the next day, Ill
be happy," manager Joe Girardi said. "So when they get here, they get here."
Girardi said he wasnt sure whether he would keep Robinson Cano batting second
when the pair return. "You want him to have as many at-bats as possible,"
Girardi said. "Thats the bottom line." NOTES: OF Hideki Matsui intends to sign a
one-day minor league contract with the Yankees on July 28 and again announce his
retirement that day. The Yankees plan to honour the 2009 World Series MVP during
a pregame ceremony that day and will give the first 18,000 fans Hideki Matsui
bobbleheads. Matsui wore No. 55, and July 28 is the Yankees originally scheduled
55th home game. Matsui played for the Yankees from 2003-09 and announced his
retirement in December after 10 seasons with the Yomiuri Giants in Japans
Central League and 10 in the major leagues. He played for the Yankees from
2003-09, driving in six runs in the 2009 World Series finale, then spent one
season each with the Los Angeles Angels, Oakland and Tampa Bay. "Even through
his knee injuries, he found a way to always get big hits for the New York
Yankees," Girardi said. "You will hear every player to a man say what a great
teammate he was."
Swingman Spencer Hawes Jersey . Pert has
formerly spent time as an assistant coach with Cardiff City, Coventry City, and
Bahrain mens national team. "Martyn is a highly-respected coach with experience
at the top levels in England," said Whitecaps FC head coach Carl Robinson.
Swingman Dell Curry Jersey . Scott won the
Australian PGA last week in his first event in Australia since winning the U.S.
Masters in April. American Matt Kuchar, ahead by two strokes with four to play
and even with Scott with one to go, double-bogeyed the 18th after taking two
shots to get out of a bunker.
