|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter has been scratched from the Yankees' Thursday lineup as he deals with the flu, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. |
Our View: Expect him to rest for a day or two, but obviously this should have no impact on his 2010 season.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter reiterated on Wednesday that he has zero interest in leaving the Yankees next offseason when his 10-year contract expires, according to MLB.com's Bryan Hoch. |
Our View: The Yankees have taken the rather curious approach of not extending their captain's deal until it runs out, but he doesn't sound insulted - yet. He may start thinking differently if he has an off 2010 season and the Yankees dictate he takes a pay cut, however.
|
|
|
|
| Joel Sherman of the New York Post thinks the Yankees and Derek Jeter will ultimately agree to a four-year contract extension in the neighborhood of $100 million. |
Our View: Sherman believes Jeter's superb defensive season in 2009 has put the Yankees in a tough position, and if he comes close to repeating it in 2010, they will have no choice but to shell out whatever he wants. Stay tuned.

|

Our View: Jeter hit a monstrous two-run homer in the third inning that tied the game at 2-2 and the Yankees never looked back after. The veteran shortstop finished the day 2-for-2, scored three runs and also worked a pair of walks. Hard to be more all-around than that.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter will serve as the Yankees' DH for Tuesday night's game against the Rays, according to the Twitter page of baseball writer Ed Price. Jerry Hairston will replace Jeter at short. |
Our View: Jeter has been struggling at the plate as he chases Lou Gehrig's hit record, so maybe the Yanks want to give him a game to focus solely on his hitting. He could also be getting a night off in the field to rest, but either way he is a safe fantasy play for tonight.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter received a scheduled day off on Friday night, according to MLB.com. Jeter was replaced at shortstop by Ramiro Pena. |

|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, the X-rays on the right foot of Yankees' shortstop Derek Jeter came back negative, according to the Twitter page of MLB.com writer Anthony DiComo. |
Our View: Well fantasy owners can stop freaking out, because Jeter is going to be ok. WE should know later tonight how much time, if any, Jeter will miss, but it looks like he should be back very soon.
|
|
|
|
| Yankees' shortstop Derek Jeter left Wednesday's game after the second inning with a right foot contusion. |
Our View: Jeter injured his foot after his at-bat in the second, and he did not come out to play short in the top of the third. He is going for X-rays, so we will keep you updated on his condition.
|
|
|
|

Our View: Jeter is having his finest season in years in 2009, batting a robust .321 with 11 home runs and 43 RBI. The new Yankee Stadium has surely helped, but the 35-year-old shortstop is showing no signs of slowing down any time soon.
|

Our View: Jeter served as the team's DH today, and apparently he enjoyed the new role. His average is at .319 for the season, and he is showing no signs of slowing down. The shortstop remains one of the better players in the game and one of the top options at the position in all fantasy leagues.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter is serving as the Yankees' DH for their Saturday afternoon game against the A's. Cody Ransom will take over at shortstop for Jeter today. |
Our View: There isn't anything wrong with Jeter, but the team is just giving him a day off on defense today without losing his bat in the order. He should be back at short tomorrow, and this won't have any fantasy impact today.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter led the Yankees offensively in tonight's 8-3 win over Oakland at Yankee Stadium, as he went 3-for-5 with two RBI. All three of his knocks were singles. |

He will be joined in the starting lineup by catcher Joe Mauer, first baseman Mark Teixeira, second baseman Dustin Pedroia, third baseman Evan Longoria, and outfielders Jason Bay, Ichiro, and Josh Hamilton. |
Our View: Pretty impressive starting lineup here for the AL. Hamilton is still injured but he hopes to be ready to play. Everyone else looks good to go at this point.
|
|
|
|
| According to Ken Davidoff's twitter account, Derek Jeter is out of the lineup once again on Saturday. |
Our View: The Yankee Captain is battling flu-like symptoms and will ride the pine for the second straight game. He has a nasty cough, but shouldn't be considered anything worse than day-to-day. Adjust your lineups accordingly and expect him to get back in the lineup soon.

|
|
|
|
| According to the Newark Star Ledger, Yankees Manager Joe Girardi is keeping an eye on Derek Jeter. He is concerned about Jeter's sore ankle that appeared to bother him in Friday's game. |
Our View: Girardi noticed a "hitch" in Jeter's step while rounding the bases and it didn't seem to improve as the game went on. Jeter swears he's fine, but don't be surprised if he gets occasional days off to keep the injury from intensifying. As of right now, he's good to go for today's game.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter is not in the Yankees' lineup on Thursday as he is still suffering from a stiff left ankle. He will be replaced at short by Ramiro Pena, who will hit ninth. |
Our View: Jeter was hoping to play today, but the Yankees decided to give him another game off. On the bright side, it looks like weather may prevent anyone from playing the Bronx today, so Jeter may not have to miss the game after all. Expect him to return to the lineup this weekend.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, Derek Jeter underwent an MRI on his sore ankle that revealed no damage, according to Newsday. He will miss Wednesday night's game, but expects to play on Thursday. |
Our View: Jeter is having a strong season as a host of other veteran shortstops struggle. It doesn't sound as if he will miss much time at all.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Journal News, Derek Jeter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game. |
Our View: The stiff ankle is still bothering the Yankee shortstop and he is considered day-to-day. He'll likely be a game time decision for the rest of the week, but Jeter is a gamer and won't take sitting out lightly. That bodes wells for fantasy owners as he'll do whatever it takes to get back in the lineup. Good thing too. He's putting together a fine fantasy campaign this season hitting .306 with nine homers, 30 RBI and 13 steals.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter exited Tuesday's game against the Nationals with stiffness in his left ankle, according to the Associated Press. |

|
|
|

Our View: Jeter almost has his average to .300 this season and he has now hit in 12 straight games. His average jumped from .266 to .299 during the streak and Jeter shows why he is still a capable fantasy option at short.
|
|
|
|
| The New York Post is reporting that Derek Jeter will return to the lineup for the Yankees on Thursday. Jeter missed the last two games with a sore oblique. |

|
|
|
|
| According to Newsday, Derek Jeter is out of Wednesday's lineup for the second day in a row. |
Our View: Jeter's sore oblique is still bothering him, but he's expected to be back in tomorrow. He won't need atrip to the DL, which was the Yankees' biggest concern.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter is expected to return to the Yankees' lineup Wednesday, according to Newsday. |
Our View: He was held out Tuesday with a sore oblique. He should be fine to pencil back into lineups if deemed fit to return.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, Yankee Captain Derek Jeter is dealing with a strained oblique, according to the Miami Herald. |
Our View: Jeter is out of tonight's lineup, but it doesn't sound too serious. He's considered day-to-day, but should be back in the lineup soon.
|
|
|
|
| According to the Newark Star Ledger, Derek Jeter has been scratched from Tuesday's lineup. |

|
|

|
|
|
|

Our View: Jeter continues to be big for the Yanks, but the team couldn't close out the hated Sox. Jeter has been a pleasant surprise this season offensively, so Jeter owners should be very happy with him.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter went 2-for-7 in Wednesday's marathon win against the A's. He had a home run, his fourth of the season, and drove in two. He is hitting .286 on the year. |
Our View: Jeter has shown some nice power this season, an added bonus for Jeter owners. He is still a quality fantasy option in mixed leagues, and the four home runs solidify his status as such.
|
|
|
|
| ESPN.com is reporting that that game between the Yankees and the A's scheduled for Monday night has been postponed due to rain. |
Our View: No make-up date has been announced, but stay tuned for that information.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter was 3-for-5 with three RBI in the Yankees 7-2 win over the Rays on Tuesday. He also hit his second home run of the season; a three-run shot in the ninth inning. |

|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter was 2-for-4 on Wednesday and hit his first home run of the season in a losing effort as the Yankees fell to the Orioles 7-5. |
Our View: Jeter is not the fantasy stud he once was, but should still put up solid numbers across the board. Given how his star is on the decline, he might actually end up returning a nice value in '09 if you were able to roster him late.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees will open the season with a revised top of the batting order. Shortstop Derek Jeter is moving up to the leadoff spot, and outfielder Johnny Damon will fall to the No. 2 hole, the AP confirms. |
Our View: It seems a little odd to move a long-time leadoff hitter and a long-time No. 2 batter out of their usual spots, and we'd love to hear all the reasoning behind the switch. This news doesn't change our outlooks for Jeter or Damon. Heck, for all we know, Joe Girardi might change his mind one week into the season if the Yankees offense starts off slowly.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter exited Saturday's game with a bruised pinkie knuckle on his left hand, but is expected to return to the diamond Sunday, according to the New York Daily News. Skipper Joe Girardi said, "He is okay. I did not take him out because he was hurt, but I did not want to play him or Johnny Damon too much in the day game after a night game." |
Our View: Jeter is fine, and fantasy owners should not be concerned with his ailment.
|
|
|
|
| Playing against his Yankee teammates, Derek Jeter drove in a pair of runs in four at-bats to lead the U.S. team to a 6-5 win over the Yankees. |

|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter went a perfect 3-for-3 from the dish Sunday afternoon as the Yankees lost a 13-11 slugfest to the Reds. |
Our View: As has been the case for what seems like each of the last four or five seasons, Jeter will have to guide his Yankees team through a sea of off-the-field controversy and scandal with his natural leadership.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter will play in the team's first exhibition game on Wednesday, according to the AP. |
Our View: Jeter had been held out of some drills by the Yankees due to a sore hamstring, but he started running on Tuesday and expects to go full bore on Wednesday.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter has a sore hamstring, and did not participate in running drills for the Yankees on Sunday, reports the AP. |
Our View: The injury is not considered serious. Jeter will likely begin running again come Monday.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter recently expressed a lot of excitement to the New York Daily News. "I'm probably as excited about this season as I've been about any season in a long time because we've made some great additions," the Captain of Obvious recently said. |
Our View: It's true, the Yankees were able to acquire some talent with their extra $450 million they spent this offseason. Jeter may benefit from the potentially stronger lineup. His numbers have declined over the past two years, but it's very conceivable he gets his runs total back over 100 this season. His 88 runs scored last season marked the first time in his career that he's received over 500 at-bats and registered less than 100 runs.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees and Mets were both approved to receive more bonds for construction of their new stadiums, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: The city of New York will will repaid for the bonds. Even if it takes years for that to happen, the economic boom that it will create for the city in construction jobs as well as in-season positions for the two teams, should make the bonds worth it.
|
|
|
|
| Yankees president Randy Levine was subpoenaed by New York City officials as they investigate the public funding used by the team to build their new stadium, according to the AP. |
Our View: The team used millions of dollars from the public to help build the stadium, and there have been question marks about it for quite a while, which the city hopes Levine will help answer.
|
|
|
|
| Adding insult to injury the Yankees have to pay $26.9 million, their highest luxury tax in three years, after not even making the playoffs in 2008, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: The Detroit Tigers were the only other team required to pay a luxury tax. Their tab was a bit smaller at just $1.3 million. However, like the Yankees, the Tigers also missed the postseason.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees are ending their sponsorship deal with General Motors, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: GM's financial troubles are the reason for this decision. Toyota and Audi will replace GM as the Yankees' auto sponsors and will be featured on signs inside the new Yankee Stadium.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter won his third straight Silver Slugger on Thursday, according to the Associated Press. |
Our View: Jeter's offensive game has fallen off a bit as he's getting on in age. 2008 was the first time in his career that he failed to score 100 runs in a season in which he played at least 148 games.
|
|
|
|
| Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter said he and free agent pitcher CC Sabathia have spoken about the organization, according to the New York Daily News. "He's asked questions about us," Jeter said. |
Our View: The Yankees will be players for the big lefty, but Sabathia is said to prefer the Left Coast. Either way, he's performing his due diligence in anticipation of a huge offer.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter and co. will have some comfortable new surroundings when they move into the clubhouse of the new Yankee Stadium, according to the Orange County Register. Robert Kuwada reports that they will have underground parking with elevators to the clubhouse, which will be 25,000 square feet. |
Our View: It will also have a giant weight room, a kitchen with a staff and computers at every locker.
|
|
|
|
| Updating a previous report, Derek Jeter has been ruled out for the final regular two games of the regular season according to the Providence Journal. |
Our View: Jeter tallied the least runs scored of his entire career and his second least RBI since 2003 when he only played 119 games. His .300 batting average was his lowest since he hit .292 in 2004.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter will sit out Saturday's game with Boston according to the Journal News. He did not seem optimistic about playing on Sunday. He left Friday's game against Boston in the third inning due to a sore left hand. |
Our View: Don't count on the Yankee captain contributing to your fantasy squad the rest of the season.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter left Friday's game against Boston in the third inning due to a sore left hand, according to the AP. |
Our View: The injury bothered him since being hit by a pitch on Saturday. The Yankees are out of the playoff race, and there was no need for Jeter to keep playing and risk further injury.
|
|
|
|
| Yankees chairman Hank Steinbrenner is angry, and he won't take it anymore, according to Yankees.com. He hates the fact there are divisions, and does not think it's fair that teams with better records than others get left out of the playoffs. "Baseball went to a multi-division setup to create more races, rivalries and excitement. But it isn't fair. ... "What if the Yankees finish the season with more wins than the Dodgers, but the Dodgers make the playoffs? Does that make the Dodgers a better team? No," Steinbrenner said. He also added the fact that the Cardinals won the World Series in 2006 was "ridiculous." |
Our View: We wonder if Steinbrenner will go into Bud Selig's office, stomp his feet and hold his breath until Selig changes these completely unfair divisions. It has gotten to the point where Steinbrenner doesn't realize people are lauging at him, not with him.

|
|
|
| Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was scratched from the team's lineup for Tuesday's game against the Blue Jays, according to Yankees.com. |

|

|
|
|
|
| Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter had to leave his team's game against Baltimore after being hit with a pitch in the bottom of the ninth inning, according to Yankees.com. |
Our View: No word on what the extent of the injury is, but it would be a shame if Jeter does not get to play in the final game ever at Yankee Stadium.
|
|
|
|
| The AP reports that Derek Jeter passed Lou Gehrig for the lead in all-time hits at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night. He was 2-for-3 on the night. Jeter also has 8,002 at-bats as a Yankee, passing Gehrig for second place on the franchise list. |
Our View: Jeter's average stands at .306 and he appears on pace to get his tenth season of hitting over .300. The Yankee legend has never hit lower than .291 in 13 seasons of being a regular.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter has six games left at Yankee Stadium, and he will need to get one more base knock to pass Lou Gehrig for the most hits in the history of Yankee Stadium, according to the New York Post. |
Our View: You can count on Jeter doing just that, barring an injury of some sort. He has picked up his play in September, and is finally over the .300 mark that fantasy owners had been waiting for.

|
|
| Jeter continued his recent hot streak on Sunday, going 3-for-4 with his 11th home run of the season. He also tied Lou Gehrig's record for most hits in Yankee Stadium. |

|
|
|
|

Our View: One of his hits was a homer, which also tied him with childhood hero Dave Winfield with 205. He also produced his 1,000th RBI.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter hit a solo home run, his tenth of the year, in a 2-for-3 day, but the Yankees succumbed to the Mariners, 5-2. |
Our View: Jeter's average is getting closer to the .300 mark, as he has hit .345 since August 1. He is no longer an elite option for fantasy owners as he ages, but he remains solid.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter produced a full line on Monday with three runs, two hits, two RBI and three walks for the Yankees. |
Our View: Jeter hit .345 in July and with his two hits today he has upped his average to .296 on the year. After a pedestrian start to the year, Jeter has started to come on though he will still likely fail to record 100-runs, he currently has 75, for the first time in his career in a season of 500-AB.
|
|
|
|
| Like a number of hitters, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter has a difficult time against the pitcher he will face on Sunday, Blue Jays ace Roy Halladay. Jeter is just 19-for-75 (.253) with 21 strikeouts against the big right-hander for his career. |
Our View: Jeter has had a great August that had pushed his average near the .300 mark, so fantasy owners with him on their squad hope that outweighs his past failures against Halladay.
|
|
|
|
| The Yanks were all about offense today as they battled with the Blue Jays, but the hitting wasn't enough to get the win, falling 7-6 to Toronto. Shortstop Derek Jeter was one of four players making a contribution, going 2-for-4 at the plate with one walk and two runs scored. |
Our View: Bobby Abreu, Robinson Cano, and Ivan Rodriguez all went 2-for-4 as well with both Cano and I-Rod jacking homers while Abreu added a stolen base.
|
|
|
|
| With a first inning single off of Orioles hurler Radhames Liz, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter saw his career hit total reach 2,500, according to The Sports Network. |
Our View: Jeter was having a ho-hum type of season, but has seen his average rise from .280 to .297 before Friday's game after hitting .392 so far in August. He has always hit for a high average, and will be at 3,000 hits by 2011 at the latest.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter had two hits to push his average up to .285 for the Yankees. The shortstop also scored a run against the Twins. |
Our View: Jeter has struggled all year to put together a string of "Jeter-like" effort at the plate, but we are still holding out hope that he will be able to hit .300 when all is said an done. He remains a bottom tier starter in mixed leagues.

Our View: Jeter remains as steady as ever and we could see his average climb over .300 before long. Unfortunately, his days of stealing 20-plus bases seem to be over. He has just five this season.
|
|

Our View: Jeter is only hitting .278 on the season, but his recent streak has helped his batting average climb nine points on the month. Expect the career .316 hitter to keep raising his average.

| Yankees' shortstop Derek Jeter has taken over the lead in the AL All-Star voting on Monday, according to the AP. Jeter has received 1,988,251 votes, giving him a lead of less than 6,000 over DH David Ortiz, who remains on the DL with his wrist injury. |
Our View: Jeter also has an 800,000-vote advantage at shortstop over Michael Young of the Rangers, meaning he will have a good shot to start the All-Star Game on his home turf of Yankee Stadium on July 15.
|
|
|
|

I know how much he cares about winning and how hard he works. Hopefully he gets another opportunity to manage."
|
Our View: Randolph was a coach with the Yankees from 1994-2004, and Jeter joined the club late in the 1995 campaign.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter hit a solo homer in the eighth inning off Astros setup man Doug Brocail and the New York Yankees defeated Houston 2-1 on Friday night.
|
Our View: Jeter is finally over the hand injury that put him in a semi-slump in May. The All Star shortstop is hitting .271 on the season, a number that should rise as the Yankees visit some hitter-friendly ballparks in the next three weeks.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter hit his third home run of the season and was the lone Yankees run producer in a 6-1 loss to the Twins on Sunday afternoon. |
Our View: It's gone mostly unnoticed, but since Derek Jeter was hit on the hand on May 20th, he's hit under .200 and done so without any power. The All Star shortstop has looked more comfortable at the plate the last two days which might be a sign his hand is finally getting healthy.
|
|
|
|
| It's gone mostly unnoticed, but since Derek Jeter was hit on the hand in last Tuesday's game against the Orioles, he is 1-for-20 at the plate. |
Our View: Jeter was 0-for-3 on Monday and his [last Tuesday] .300 plus batting average is now down to .282. It's unlikely that Jeter has lost his typical aggressive nature at the plate. It is, however, suspected he isn't 100 percent and the injury is affecting his hand strength.
|
|
|
|
| As he earlier insisted, Derek Jeter has in fact returned to the Yankees' lineup Wednesday, according to the AP. X-rays taken during Tuesday night's game against Baltimore were negative, as Jeter was diagnosed with a contusion after being hit by a Daniel Cabrera pitch on his left hand. That was the third time he has been hit by a pitch this season. |
Our View: Jeter thinks he will be fine, and he will try and help the Yankees end a four game losing skid today.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter is officially listed as day-to-day after being drilled on the left hand by a Daniel Cabrera pitch on Tuesday, according to the NY Daily News. X-rays taken during Tuesday night's game were negative, as Jeter was diagnosed with a contusion, and he said, "Fortunately, it's not broken. I should be okay for Wednesday." Manager Joe Girardi added, "We'll look at how sore he is and how swollen it is. I wouldn't be surprised if he can't play, but I wouldn't be surprised if Derek finds a way to play. That's the type of player he is. He got hit pretty hard. There aren't too many days he sits out. My gut tells me he's going to be pretty sore, but there are a lot of days that people don't think Derek will play and he goes out there."
|
Our View: Jeter insists he'll be back in the lineup Wednesday as the Yankees try to snap their four-game losing streak. Pencil him into your lineups with caution.

|
| Following up on an earlier report Derek Jeter was hit on his left hand by a pitch Tuesday night, forcing him out of the Yankees' game against Baltimore, and the teams nearly came to blows when New York tried to retaliate three innings later, this according to the AP.
With the Orioles leading 9-0 in the third, right-hander Daniel Cabrera plunked Jeter with a 2-1 delivery and the star shortstop spun away in pain.
The shortstop went to the locker room following the incident and had X-rays taken. The results were negative. |
Our View: Jeter is day-to-day with a bruised hand.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter left the Tuesday night game against the Orioles after being hit by a pitch. Orioles right-hander Daniel Cabrera was throwing inside to the All Star shortstop when Jeter was hit in the hand. |
Our View: No word on the severity of the injury. It's more than possible that the Yankees shortstop left as a precaution. The Yankees trailed 9-0 at the time he was hit.
|

|
| Derek Jeter continued his strange season with two hits and an RBI on Thursday for the Yankees. |
Our View: Jeter is hitting a solid .302, but he has just one home run and not a single stolen base through 36 games, a shocking revelation for the HOF bound Jeter. Based on his track record, you have to think that a run of SB and HR will be coming shortly.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees put the hurt to the Detroit Tigers, 5-2, today, an effort led by SS Derek Jeter . Jeter went 2-for-5 on the day, hitting his first home run of the year to drive in his 18th RBI of the season. |

|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter upped his average to .324 thanks to two hits on Wednesday night. Jeter also scored twice and had two RBI as did Jason Giambi. |
Our View: Jeter is still favoring the leg a bit, but that isn't stopping him from slapping line drives to right field from the #2 hole in the Yankees order.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter has a good track record against Edwin Jackson, tonight's opposing hurler for Tampa Bay, according to MLB.com. The elite shortstop is 4-for-11 with a homer and three RBI over his career against Jackson. |
Our View: Jeter could have continued success, but Jackson is off to a strong start however, with a 2-0 record and 0.64 ERA. This should be a good match-up to follow tonight.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter will return to the Yankees' lineup at shortstop tonight against the Rays, according to the AP. The All-Star shortstop hasn’t played since leaving a game on April 7 due to a strained left quadriceps muscle. |

|
|
|

Our View: We will keep you posted on his status for tonight.

Our View: Jeter has been running in pregame workouts and was spotted taking batting practice and fielding ground balls before Saturday’s matchup with the Boston Red Sox. If there are no problems moving forward with additional workouts today, Jeter should be in the lineup when the Yanks travel to St. Petersburg on Monday night.
|
|
|
|
| The Yankees still have not allowed Derek Jeter to test his injured leg, according to NewsDay. He may have run on Friday if not for the wet field, and still could run Saturday or Sunday. He noted the weather as being a problem. GM Cashman added, "I would assume that he'd be out for the Boston series. I'm mentally looking towards Tampa, but we'll see, you never know."
|
Our View: We will keep you posted on his status.

That’s when we are looking at six weeks." Jeter’s status for the remainder of the three-game series is unknown.
|
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter is reportedly going to be out of action until at least Friday due to his left quad injury, according to MLB.com. Manager Girardi stated that the Yankees do not expect to have to place Jeter on the 15-day DL, but he is not likely to play in the current series against the Royals. The earliest he could possibly return is Friday, when the Yankees battle rival Boston. Girardi added, "It's hard to say when he can return. He probably won't play in this series, and we'll shoot for the Red Sox series. We'll see where he's at after a couple of days and try to make a real evaluation. We feel that it's not going to be two weeks. We're hoping sometime in the Boston series he'll be ready, but we'll have to see how he progresses." Wilson Betemit notably started at shortstop today against the Royals.

|
|
| Derek Jeter was forced to leave the Yankees game on Monday after injuring his left quadriceps. There is no word on the severity of the injury, but the fact that he stayed in the game for a half-inning on defense after the injury occurred would seem to mean that this could be a short-term issue. Stay tuned for an update. |
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter is not expected to miss opening day, according to MLB.com. Jeter took a ball off his right hand during infield practice on Saturday.

|
| As expected, Derek Jeter was held out of Sunday's game due to the stiff knee that forced him to exit Saturday's contest. "I don't like sitting down, that's the bottom line," Jeter said, according to the New York Daily News. "Whether it's now or at the beginning of the season, I don't like sitting down. I understand it, but I don't like it. (The injury) is not an issue." Barring a setback, Jeter should be back in the lineup on Tuesday. |

"Hopefully a couple of days off will do the job," Torre said. "It's been bothering him for a while. Today it looked like he couldn't move very well." Despite the day off, this injury doesn't appear serious. The Yankees are just being cautious. |

Jeter has been battling an aching shoulder since the end of July and was hit on his leg by a pitch Wednesday, according to the New York Daily News. "We'll look to get him a day (off)," Torre said. It's not clear when that will happen, but since he has just five hits in his last 25 at-bats, he could probably use a breather. |
|
|
|
| Derek Jeter was pulled from Saturday's game in the ninth inning. He's been dealing with some tendinitis in his right knee for a few days, though he said he was "fine," according to the New York Daily News. Barring an unexpected turn of events, Jeter should be in the lineup on Sunday. |

|
|
|
| Derek Jeter was a late scratch from Thursday's lineup due to a bruised left thigh, according to the AP. He'll still be available off the bench, so the injury isn't likely to keep him out of action very long. Miguel Cairo got the start at shortstop in Jeter's absence. |
