Weekend Injury News Round-Up

It was a big weekend for injuries for the Bombers, especially in the bullpen.  With guys leaving or being unavailable for games seemingly every other hour, here's the latest on where the newest batch of walking wounded stands (or sits):

- Derek Jeter- Left Saturday afternoon's game early thanks to more problems with his surgically-repaired left ankle.  Joe said he didn't like the way he was moving, and even though a CT scan showed no structural damage, the plan is still to rest Jeter for a few days before re-evaluating him.

- David Robertson- Wasn't available after pitching Thursday night with what's being called tendinitis in his right shoulder.  Is expected to be out for a few more days before throwing a bullpen session to test the shoulder.

- Boone Logan- Left Friday night's game with pain in his left biceps.  An MRI on Saturday showed no structural damage and he was given a cortisone shot yesterday.  He could be back by the next Boston series.

- Chris Stewart- Left yesterday's game in the 6th after taking a pitch off the left foot.  No broken bones but Stewart said after the game that there are some strained ligaments.  No word on how long he'll be out, but I wouldn't expect to see him back behind the plate tonight or tomorrow.
