After Kevin Youkilis was forced to leave Saturday's game with lower back tightness, the Yankees third baseman will take off Sundays game to rest.

Manager Joe Giradi wasn't at all concerned with the injury, saying, "His back locked up a little bit on the right side. I don't think its anything serious."

Youkilis was 1-for-3 in yesterday's game and singled home two runs in the 5th, on a line drive to left field.

Lyle Overbay entered the game in the 6th inning as Youkilis' replacement.

Jayson Nix will man the hot corner today as the Yankees look to sweep the Blue Jays.

Todays lineup:

Gardner CF
Cano 2B
Wells LF
Hafner DH
Overbay 1B
Nunez SS
Suzuki RF
Nix 3B
Stewart C
Nova P
