New York Yankees Roster Report 2009-05-08


New York Yankees Roster Report 2009-05-08
--3B Alex Rodriguez is expected to come off the 15-day disabled list and rejoin the Yankees on Friday. Rodriguez, who underwent right hip surgery March 9, played in his last extended spring training game Thursday and went 0-for-2 with two walks.

--RHP Chien-Ming Wang, who is on the 15-day disabled list with what the Yankees have termed weakness in his hips, threw in an extended spring training game Thursday and allowed three hits while striking out seven in five scoreless innings. Wang went on the shelf after going 0-3 with a 34.50 ERA in his first three starts.

--C Jose Molina appears headed for the disabled list after he suffered a strained left quad while scoring a run in the fourth inning of the Yankees' 8-6 loss to the Rays on Thursday. Molina, who became the Yankees' starting catcher earlier this week when Jorge Posada was placed on the 15-day disabled list, had an MRI after the game, and manager Joe Girardi told reporters he expected Molina to join Posada on the DL.

MEDICAL WATCH:

3B Alex Rodriguez (arthroscopic right hip surgery in March 2009) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to March 27. He resumed baseball activities April 13, and he began playing in extended spring training in late April. He will be activated May 8.

C Jose Molina (strained left quadriceps) left the May 7 game, and he is likely to be placed on the disabled list.

C Jorge Posada (strained right hamstring) went on the 15-day disabled list May 5.

LHP Damaso Marte (left shoulder soreness) went on the 15-day disabled list May 3.

RHP Brian Bruney (sore right elbow) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 22. He is unlikely to return before late May.

RHP Chien-Ming Wang (hip weakness) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 19 with an ailment connected to the season-ending Lisfranc foot injury he suffered last year. He pitched May 2 in extended spring training.

3B Cody Ransom (right quadriceps tear) went on the 60-day disabled list April 26.

OF Xavier Nady (sore right elbow) went on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to April 15. He will try to rehab the injury without surgery.
