Player Notes

June 26, 2009
According to the New York Daily News, Yankees' relever Brian Bruney has smoothed over his argument with Mets' closer Francisco Rodriguez by sending a clubhouse attendant to apologize. Bruney and K-Rod had to be seperated before a game in the last Subway Series.

Our View:Bruney had been running his mouth about K-Rod, and apparently neither pitcher is too fond of the other. With another series between the two coming up, it looks like Bruney has made amends with the Mets' closer. Don't expect any fireworks before these games between the two.

June 16, 2009
Brian Bruney has been activated from the DL following his recovery from a strained right elbow, according to TSN. Jose Veras was designated for assignment as the adjoining move.

Our View:The Yankees will be pleased to get Bruney back in their bullpen as he holds a solid 0.56 WHIP. But he only holds fantasy value in deeper leagues that feature middle men.

June 15, 2009
The New York Times reports that reliever Brian Bruney apologized on Sunday for degrading comments made towards Francisco Rodriguez earlier in the weekend. Bruney and Rodriguez had to be separated in the outfield prior to Sunday's game.

Our View:Bruney is clearly not a fan of K-Rod's, but his lack of a track record suggests that he shouldn't really be saying anything about the Mets closer. It is good to see him step up and apologize for calling K-Rod a "tired act." Once healthy, Bruney could factor into the Yankees bullpen as a possible setup option for Mariano Rivera.

June 13, 2009
According to the New York Daily News, Yankees' reliever Brian Bruney is scheduled to begin his rehab assignment in Double-A Trenton on Saturday. Bruney is expected to rejoin the team next week barring any setbacks.

Our View:Bruney should throw an inning today, and if all goes well he should be back in the Yanks' pen later this week. He will be a nice added piece to the Yankees' bullpen, and leagues that count holds should give him a hard look.

June 12, 2009
Newsday is reporting that Yankees' pitcher Brian Bruney threw 25 pitches to live hitters on Thursday and felt no pain. "I pretty much let those pitches go as much as I could for not being in a game," Bruney said. "That's all I got right there so I thought I looked pretty good. Threw the pitches where I wanted to." Bruney is expected to begin his rehab assignment either Friday or Saturday.

Our View:Bruney seems to be recovering nicely, and he has not reported any problems since he started throwing again. If he starts his rehab assignment this weekend, he could be back with the team at some point next week. Bruney has been one of the best Yankee relievers this season when healthy, so the team could really use him back in the bullpen. He could be a nice option in leagues that count holds when he returns.
