August 13, 2008 Wilson Betemit went 2-for-3 in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to Minnesota. Both of his hits were singles, and accounted for two of the Yankees' five hits in the contest. Alex Rodriguez registered the only extra base hit with a double. Our View:Betemit started the game at shortstop in place of the injured Derek Jeter. Betemit serves solid depth for the Yankees, like today, but isn't likely going to see enough at-bats the rest of the way to make him a favorable fantasy option. |

A-Rod is back at third base, and Jason Giambi is still firmly planted at first base. |
|

Our View:We're not sure how long Betemit will hang out at Triple-A, but we figure the team will want him to play at least five days or so to test the hamstring. Regardless, Betemit has very little fantasy value. |
|

Alberto Gonzalez was called up from Triple-A to take his roster spot, the New York Post confirms.

|
