The injury bug looks to be making a
permanent residence in the New York Yankees clubhouse as it was announced that
first baseman/third baseman Kevin Youkilis will have require surgery on a
herniated disk in his back. Surgery is scheduled for Thursday and the timetable
for recovery is 10-12 weeks, effectively ending his tenure as a Yankee before
it really got started.
Curtis Granderson had a fractured
forearm in spring training that forced him to miss the first six weeks of the
season but found himself on the DL 10 days after fracturing the pinkie finger
on his left hand.
