Brett Gardner has only played nine games this season. His injury was a big reason why the New York Yankees went out and acquired Ichiro Suzuki from the Seattle Mariners. The team thought that Gardner would be out for the entire season with his elbow issues, but New York activated him today. According to Jack Moore of CBS Sports, Brett Gardner will be available in tonight's game and for the remainder of the season. The Yankees intend to use him off the bench and as a defensive replacement. Gardner has long been New York's best defensive outfielder. Gardner was hitting .321/.424/.393 in nine games this season. The sample size was far too small to assume he could have maintained that success. However, the Yankees have missed his bat and his defense. In his career, Gardner is a .265/.355/.368 hitter.

MLB Rumors: Should the Yankees Re-Sign Nick Swisher?

Via FootBasket  |  September 24, 2012
The New York Yankees are believed to have had no extension talks with Nick Swisher yet. Word going around is that Swisher, the Yankees’ eternally upbeat right field power supply, may seek a monster contract when he hits free agency at the end of the year. To baseball fans, that is well-known to mean about $126 million over seven years. In other words, it’s a lot more money than...
