Joba and Rivera settle a dispute.
Prior to Saturday's game in Kansas City, Mariano Rivera was conducting an interview in the Yankees dugout with reporters talking about a recent visit had with a local family. Joba Chamberlain was standing on the top step of the dugout shouting at some family members in the stands.
Rivera told Joba to be quiet. “Don’t ever shush me again.” barked Joba. Rivera chuckled, as he thought Chamberlain was joking. But Joba wasn't joking. “No, seriously. Don’t ever shush me again. I don’t get to see my family very often.” Said Joba.
Though he felt no need to apologize, Joba still offered his apologies to Rivera on Sunday. Mariano also wanted to offer his own apologies to the reporters and fans for having seen it.
“Sometimes you have little things that we say that we don’t mean,” Rivera said. “It’s good. We’re a family here. That’s what it is all about. It’s something that we take care of in house. It’s something that is in house. Unfortunately it happened in front of you guys, but again, it shouldn't happen. We apologize and we move on.”
Rivera said that he wasn't insulted in any way because of what Joba said to him, saying, "No, I'm better than that. When you're in the team or you're in the family for so long, you know the members of your family, you know what I mean? There's a lot of other things that I have to worry about. I'm better than that, guys, so thank you.''
Mariano also said the incident was something like a brotherhood. "He's a good kid, man. He's a good kid,'' Rivera said. "Sometimes we all say things that we don't mean to say. It's the way it is and I keep it like that. That doesn't make me angry because something like that happened. I'm the oldest here. I have to be the brother that has to keep the cool. It's good. We're all good. It's nothing. We'll move on."
Nunez to the DL.
A day after rumors swirled about the possibility of Eduardo Nunez joining the long list of Yankees on the DL, that rumor came true on Sunday. The Yankees have placed Nunez on the 15-Day DL, retroactive to Monday, May 6th.
"Instead of trying to test it every day to see where he's at, we're just going to give him about three days, get him swinging early next week or in the middle some time if he feels like he's ready, and then maybe get him out in some rehab games,'' manager Joe Girardi said. "It just wasn't where we wanted it, and we felt like we couldn't go any longer.'
Alberto Gonzalez has been called from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after being acquired from the Cubs last week. Mark Teixeira was moved to the 60-Day DL in order to make room for Gonzalez on the 40-man roster.
"It's nice, especially because he's a true shortstop," Girardi said of Gonzalez. "It gives you a lot of options of what you can do with the other people around him. He's also able to play second, he's able to play third, so it's really nice."
"I feel better, I'm just not ready to play,'' a disappointed Nunez said. "I understand the situation. We don't have infielders.''
Nova won't pitch Monday.
When the Yankees head to Cleveland on Monday for a make up double header they will not be joined on the field by Ivan Nova. According to Yankees manager Joe Girardi, Nova "felt something" in side while throwing on Sunday. Nova will no longer pitch in Monday double header.
As for who will pitch in Cleveland, we only know that David Phelps will start in game one and Vidal Nuno will get the ball in game two. Nuno made made his major league debut back on April 29th, throwing 3 scoreless innings against the Astros.
Nuno said that he's very excited to be pitching on Monday and will take it all in. He said that he hopes to pitch at least 4 or 5 innings. The Yankees told him to forget about a pitch count, just go out and pitch.
The Yankees are expected to call-up Corbin Joesph as the 26th man on the roster for Monday and will be sent back to AAA Scranton after the game. Brett Marshall is also expected to be in Cleveland just in case the Yankees need to replace a pitcher in between games. Both players are on the 40-man roster.
