Yankees outfielder, Brett Gardner, saw Dr. Timothy Kremchek today, who agreed with a previous diagnosis – elbow muscle strain, bone bruised and joint inflammation, that have not fully healed, the Yankees said in a statement. Gardner received a PRP (platelet-rich plasma) and a cortisone shot in the elbow today. Doctors have recommended that Gardner give [...]
Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner felt more pain in his right elbow this morning and will be sent to see a doctor on Monday. Gardner suffered the injury while making an outfield catch in April.

The Subway Series is a way for Yankees and Mets fans to settle the banter of who’s the top team in the city. Hours before the first series of the 2012 season is set to begin, the managers of both clubs made it clear that they share their fans’ feelings of winning or losing against [...]
With all of the injuries that have nagged the Yankee organization early this season, it’s obviously resulted in a call for immediate help from the bench, as well as aid from the farm system. A dwindling depth chart has led the Yanks to ask more out of some than they expected and one in particular [...]
Brett Gardner (elbow) is expected to return to the Yankees on Wednesday or Thursday of this week. Gardner is scheduled to play rehab games at Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday and Tuesday, and could return to the Yankees’ active roster Wednesday if both of those go well.

The show must go on. Despite the heartbreaking news to Yankees everywhere, learning that the legendary Mariano Rivera may miss the rest of 2012 with a torn ACL, they will still play ball. C.C. Sabathia will take the mound tonight against the Royals in game two of a four-game series in Kansas City. In his [...]

Gardner and Swisher both are on pace to be back on the field later this week, and early next: Brett Gardner (elbow) took swings in the cage Monday and did the same over the weekend.

Derek Jeter was working out in Tampa over the weekend while the Yankees were taking two-out-of-three from the Colorado Rockies at The Stadium. All reports out of Tampa are positive, but if it were up to Jeter, he’d “be playing now …”. The Yankees do not seem to be in any rush to get Jeter [...]
Joe Girardi has stated that Derek Jeter will return to the leadoff spot when he comes off the disabled-list on June 29th (which is when he is eligible to return). This faith in Jeter, while predictable, can be questioned: (Note: all stats are through game 1 of Wednesday’s double-header vs. CIN). Argument for Gardner: Coming out [...]
