A-Rod injury update

by anaconda on Apr 21, 2008 7:08 PM EDT in News

Pete Abe has the latest:

Just spoke to Brian Cashman. Alex Rodriguez was in New York today and was scheduled to meet with a physical therapist to get some work done on his strained right quad.

No tests are planned. “It’s mild,” Cashman said.

A-Rod will be on his way to Chicago tomorrow morning. No word yet on whether he will play but it’s likely he will get at least a few days off.

It sounds like A-Rod will probably miss the White Sox series, which means Morgan Ensberg will be the starting Third Baseman until further notice.

While Ensberg is no A-Rod, he is no Miguel Cairo either.

Perhaps the biggest improvement on this team over the last 12 months is their depth on the bench. There's no telling where this team might be right now if not for the big contributions of Jose Molina, Chad Moeller, Alberto Gonzalez, and Ensberg considering the various injuries to Jeter, Posada, and now A-Rod to start the season.

It's never a good thing to have one of your key players out of action, but at least this year's team is much better suited to handle such an occurrence.

Posada may not land on DL after all

by anaconda on Apr 9, 2008 6:11 PM EDT in News

Ed Price of the Ledger has the latest:

Jorge Posada said his MRI today showed a strained right shoulder and he estimated he can return in 3-4 days.

Posada said he is relieved because he feared he would need surgery.

Mark Feinsand of the Daily News was just on Michael Kay's radio show and reported that Morgan Ensberg has an issue with his knee and he could be the headed to the DL instead of Derek Jeter.

Obviously, we'll know a lot more about all of these issues when Girardi talks to the media before the game.

Pete Abe confirms mysterious knee injury to Ensberg and adds that Posada's MRI will be sent to famed uber-surgeon Dr. James Andrews for confirmation on the condition of his ailing shoulder.
