The New York Yankees were looking to make it seven straight wins against the Toronto Blue Jays, but their series finale was rained out Sunday afternoon. Along with the lousy weather came more news to put a damper on the Yankees’ season: Andy Pettitte was placed on the 15-day disabled list with...
Yankees Injury News: Brett Gardner, Jayson Nix
While the New York Yankees aren’t going to
announce their roster for the American League Division Series against the
Baltimore Orioles until a little later this morning, it’s been reported that
utility player Jayson Nix and outfielder Brett Gardner are expected to make the
cut.
Both players have dealt with injuries recently,
but they’ve battled back to the point where...
Yankees' Jayson Nix to Miss 10-14 Days
Yesterday, a strange thing happened. Eduardo Nunez was removed from the Yankees game and Derek Jeter moved from DH out to shortstop. This left Andy Pettitte slotted in the lineup to hit. Of course, things worked themselves out and Pettitte did not have to bat, but Nunez's exit magnified the absence of Jayson Nix. Nix had reported back to New York yesterday for an MRI...
Yankees: Nix is the Fix for Infield Injuries
Jayson Nix has become a comfortable option for Joe Girardi through all the team's injuries.
When you’re a backup infielder on the New York Yankees, you don’t expect to see too much playing time. You’d be happy with a start every five games or so to give regulars a rest, or a pinch run opportunity in the eighth or ninth inning in a tight spot, possibly leading to some...
Yankees' Nix is making the most of his chances
Jayson Nix tries to manage games inside his head, doing his best to predict when New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi might call on him to hit or take the field. In the seventh inning Wednesday, Nix noted that three lefties were due up in an inning or two, so he went to the cage and started taking some swings to warm up. "I knew there was a possibility I might hit," Nix...

Alex Rodriguez out with broken hand
The New York Yankees will be forced to mix and match players at third base after Alex Rodriguez suffered a non-displaced fracture of his left fifth metacarpal when he was hit by a pitch from Felix Hernandez in the eight inning of a 4-2 loss to the Mariners.
Rodriguez immediately grabbed his hand in pain and went to the ground as manager Joe Girardi and the training staff rushed...
Jayson Nix gets called up
Via Sweeney Murti (https://twitter.com/#!/YankeesWFAN/statuses/198043701342248964), Jayson Nix has been called up by the Yankees to replace Eric Chavez.
The corresponding move will likely be to place Chavez on the DL for his whiplash/concussion injury. Nix has played every position except first and catcher. He only has one option, and he’s no whiz with the bat, but he should...

Wise and Nix pass waivers and assigned to AAA

Both players were brought into camp as insurance in case of an injury and will...
