New York Yankees Injury Update

If you area fan of the New York Yankees, you got to be hoping that the injury bug won’t keep haunting the team all season. In recent days, three prime time players have gotten hurt.
Alex Rodriguez has a strained quadriceps and has now landed on the 15-day disabled list. The Yankees are being cautious with Rodriguez’s injury, however there’s a chance he could miss up to a month.
Rodriguez joined Jorge Posada on the DL. Posada has an injured throwing shoulder that isn’t allowing him to catch. Posada, who went on the DL for the first time in his career, isn’t sure when he’ll be back. The good news is that he doesn’t appear to need season-ending surgery.
Phil Hughes, the Yankees’ 21-year-old starting pitcher, also landed on the DL. He has an injured right oblique muscle. Hughes, even when healthy, has struggled this season. He has an ERA of 9.00 and has a record of 0-4.
Rodriguez, Posada and Hughes could all conceivably be back before the beginning of June. The most series injury seems to be Posada’s injury, but most major ailments have been ruled out.
