--C Jorge Posada, who underwent right shoulder surgery last season, threw out Ryan Sweeney attempting to steal second base in the 11th inning. Rajai Davis swiped second earlier in the game against Posada, who has thrown out five of 12 runners attempting to steal this season. That's a marked improvement from last season, when he threw out just seven of 41 runners. Posada has thrown out 29 percent of baserunners in a big-league career dating back to 1995.
--RHP Chien-Ming Wang, who has an ERA of 34.50 after three starts, will have his next turn in the rotation skipped and will head to the Yankees' minor league complex in Tampa, where he will throw 100 pitches in an extended spring training game Thursday as he and the Yankees try to get him untracked. Pitching Thursday would put Wang in line to pitch for the Yankees next Tuesday, but manager Joe Girardi told reporters he wasn't sure who would start for the Yankees that night against the Tigers. --OF Johnny Damon appeared in his 2,000th career game Tuesday. Damon has appeared in at least 141 games every season since 1996, his first full year in the bigs, and has made just one trip to the disabled list.
