Player Notes
July 6, 2008
Johnny Damon is holding out hope his sprained left shoulder won't force him to the DL for the first time in his career, according to the Boston Globe. The 14-year vet said, "I think we'll know more Sunday. If I wake up and I'm feeling the same then I think they're going to DL me. But if I'm improving, they'll try to keep getting me ready."

Our View:Damon received treatment and did some exercises Saturday, but noted that it could be 10 days or more before he throws again. Fantasy owners should hold him out of their lineups for the new week.
July 5, 2008
Johnny Damon wasn't placed on the DL prior to Saturday's game, but a move may still be coming. An X-ray and MRI revealed a sprained left acromioclavicular joint (shoulder), the AP reports. "He's sore and he's getting some treatment," manager Joe Girardi says. "There's a little bit of swelling in there." The skipper adds that he needs to talk with general manager Brian Cashman and head trainer Gene Monahan before the Yankees decide to make a move.

Our View:Really? We have a hard time believing that Girardi, Cashman and Monahan haven't already discussed Damon's status. Fantasy owners shouldn't expect Damon to play for the rest of this weekend, and, frankly, it might be easier to set lineups for next week if the Yankees just make a move.
July 5, 2008
Johnny Damon could be headed to the DL due to his sore left shoulder. The outfielder is eager to see how it feels on Saturday. "I think [today] is the most important day because if there's still a lot of pain [today], I think that's when we can judge how severe it is," Damon informs the New York Post. "But the way it feels right now, I know it's pretty painful."

Our View:While this isn't good news, it's arguably the best time of year for such an injury. The All-Star game would allow Damon to miss only another week's worth of contests. Fantasy owners should expect to see a lot of Brett Gardner in the near future.
July 4, 2008
An MRI revealed that Johnny Damon suffered a contusion and sprain of his left shoulder during Friday's battle against the Red Sox, according to the AP. Manager Joe Girardi said, "I think the big thing is tomorrow to see how sore he is, to see what type of range of motion he has."

Our View:He is considered day-to-day and will be re-evaluated on Saturday.
July 4, 2008
Johnny Damon has left today's Red Sox - Yankees contest after slamming into a fence attempting to make a catch, according to the Hartford Courant.

Our View:The extent of Damon's injuries are not known at this time. We will keep you updated.
