Nady Out For Season; 2010 in Question

by Matt SnyderFiled under: Yankees, AL East, MLB InjuriesYankees outfielder Xavier Nady has been on the shelf since April 14. He was recently playing in triple-A on a minor league rehab assignment when he suffered a huge setback and had to pull himself from the game. It appears the injury was devastating. He'll be forced to undergo Tommy John surgery, which normally takes at least one calendar year to heal; sometimes more. This means Nady likely won't be ready until about July of 2010. The Yankees have been using Nick Swisher in right field most of the time with Nady out, so they'll likely continue to do so. They haven't exactly struggled offensively without him, as evidenced by the comments made by manager Joe Girardi.Nady Out For Season; 2010 in Question originally appeared on Fanhouse MLB Blog on Fri, 26 Jun 2009 22:00:00 EDT .
