BREAKING: Derek Jeter to the 15-Day DL

Guess that quad strain was a little more serious than we thought.  Via Andy McCullough, the Yankees are putting Derek Jeter on the 15-day DL today, retroactive to July 12th, and will call up Brent Lillibridge to take his place on the active roster.

This doesn't spell good news for Jeter moving forward, as the team did attempt to talk down the seriousness of the injury after he left that game while still acknowledging the DL was a possibility.  It all adds up to Jeter not being ready physically to handle full games and chances are he won't be physically ready when he's available to be activated next week.  A 40-man move will have to be made to clear a spot for Brent Lillibridge.  No word on what that move is just yet.
