NEWS AND NOTES

• The Yanks have lost the first three games of this series, four of their last five, and five of their last eight. They begin play today just a half-game up on the Red Sox in the AL East.
• CC Sabathia is 14-4, with a 3.65 ERA in 26 career starts against the White Sox. He's 7-1, with a 2.98 ERA at U.S. Cellular.
• In 8 career starts against the Yankees Mark Buehrle is 1-5, with a 6.11 ERA. The last time he faced the Yanks was on 9/15/08, and that day he lasted 6 innings, allowing 2 runs on 6 hits, he did not walk a batter and struck out 6 on his way to a no decision.
• The Yankees are 21-13 against left-handed starters this year, and they lead the majors with a .291 average against lefties.
• Derek Jeter leads all of baseball with a .436 BA and a .519 OBP against left-handers..
• In 2009 the Yanks are 0-11 against teams with the word "Sox" in their name.
• Mike Ashmore has a couple tweets about Jesus Montero and his hand injury. For those who don't know, he was hit on the hand by a pitch thrown by Lance Pendleton in yesterday's game and immediately left the game.
• Last night he posted this: "Big news in Yankeeland...looks like Jesus Montero might miss some time with a hand injury. P.J. Pilittere heading to Trenton."
• Then had this to say a little while ago: "Will have some Montero info today, it seems. Doesn't sound good, though."
• Updated 1:21 p.m.: Peter Abraham is now reporting that "Jesus Montero has a fractured middle finger. Out 4-6 weeks." He will miss the remainder of the minor-league season.
