Around the Empire: Yankees news - 9/3/15

LoHud | Chad Jennings: Taking a look at the Yankees depth all over the field, especially now with more bad news coming about Mark Teixeira's injury.

ESPN New York | Wallace Matthews: After a lot of talk in the press, it seems like Alex Rodriguez will not be getting a shot at first base after all.  Oh well - might as well let Greg Bird handle it for the time being.

NJ.com | Brendan Kuty: With Ian Desmond coming off a dreadful 2015, could his value be low enough that the Yankees could sign him to play second base next season?

It's About the Money | Stacey Gotsulias: CC Sabathia has thrown some bullpen sessions without any pain, and so Brian Cashman is talking about slotting him back into the rotation. /sigh

NJ.com | Ryan Hatch: Jacoby Ellsbury had the day off yesterday, because that sore hip is proving to be tougher to get over than expected.  Let's hope he gets healthy soon - the Yankees certainly don't need any more injuries.
