SI.com is now reporting that Yankee outfielder Xavier Nady has only partially torn a ligament in his right elbow, rather than completely tearing it as originally feared.

This is good news, as it means that Nady can come back sometime in late May or early June, if according to the SI.com report, he successfully rehabs the elbow in weeks to a month. 

The interesting thing in the SI article was this:

Nady could return in a DH role. The Yankees are very concerned about DH Hideki Matsui, whose knees continue to trouble him after offseason surgery.

Does this mean that they bring Nady back sooner just to DH, and let him rehab the elbow with the team, or does he get shut down and simply do whatever exercises needed to rehab the elbow?
