Dan Giese has been optioned back to Scranton to make room for Posada on the roster.
Jason Giambi is out of the starting lineup after fouling a ball off his foot last night. He is expected back tomorrow, but could pinch hit tonight.

Sorry to see Giese go but I think they are getting wise to the fact that the fans and media and even Cashman are perplexed by the Britton yo yo effect. I hope Giese comes back.

Brian Bruney is throwing from a chair and says it’s not bad considering. He says he’s throwing pretty hard and can get high school guys out. Farnsworth and Hawkins were heard to ask how they can fracture their foot and throw from a chair in the hopes they could rise to the level of getting high school guys out.
