CC takes the mound in search of a win.

Coming of another loss on Saturday, the Yankees lifeless bats will look to salvage what they can from this ten-game road trip before the club heads home to play the Dodgers on Tuesday. The Yankees have only scored two runs in each of their last four games and haven't been able to put anything together offensively.

Today's lineup:

Gardner 8
Ichiro 9
Cano 4
Hafner DH
Wells 7
Overbay 3
Nix 5
Brignac 6
Stewart 2
Sabathia 1

On the edge of a six game losing streak the Yankees will send out their proven ace, CC Sabathia (6-5, 4.07 ERA), in hopes that he can break the Yankees skid before the team starts falling too far out of first place.

Sabathia is coming off a sluggish outing against the Athletics on Tuesday when he allowed six runs on eight hits, while giving up two home runs. Fastball command was one of the biggest issues in his last start and he's looking to improve on that today in Anaheim.

"I just felt like everything was flat; no real life on the fastball," Sabathia said. "It's up to me to go out there and battle, try to keep us in the game."

Opposing CC on the hill will be the Angels' former Cy Young winner, Jered Weaver (1-2, 3.77 ERA). Weaver is also coming on a somewhat disappointing start in Baltimore when he was charged with four runs on six hits in a rain-shortened affair , going only 5 2/3 inning, throwing 83 pitches.

"It was frustrating," Weaver said. "I heard the weather report and just didn't want to go out there and throw three innings and have it stop. It kind of feels like a wasted opportunity, I guess you can say, but weather always plays a part in the game, no matter where you're at. Obviously, it showed tonight. Like I said, you can't make any excuses. Both teams have to play in it."

Teixeira update:

The Yankees announced Sunday afternoon that Mark Teixeira underwent an MRI in New York and it showed only inflammation in his right wrist, but luckily no new tears. He was given a cortisone shot in wrist and the Yankees have not announced any planes to place him on the DL.

"There's inflammation, and even though he's hurt, that's probably the best-case scenario we could have got," Girardi said. "That's a good thing. If he was to re-tear it, that would probably be it for the season."

Teixeira left in the 4th inning of Saturday's game against the Angels when he was replaced by David Adams at 1st base. He had popped out to 3rd base in his previous in the top half of the inning. The Yankees later announced that he had a "aggravated right wrist" and he got on a plane and flew back to New York.

"He's not a player for at least a couple days," Girardi said. "We'll re-evaluate him after a couple days and see where we're at."

Joe Girardi said in a between-innings interview on FOX that Teixeira didn't have the "snap" in his wrist when batting from the left side and that he would get a couple days off.

"He just came to us and said he just feels like there's not a lot of strength there," Girardi said Saturday. "I think he just doesn't feel that he has the whip that he normally has hitting left-handed."

In the 15 games he has played since returning, Teixeira is hitting .151 with three home runs and 12 RBIs.

"I don't know that it's been right since he's been back, honestly," hitting coach Kevin Long said. "To go out there and be a shell of who he is, it's not fun for him, it's not fun for the team and it's not fun for his hitting coach to watch.

"The bottom line is he needs to get it to where he can go out there and compete at a high level. That's what we're used to seeing and that's what he's used to doing."

Obviously he won't be in Sunday's lineup and the Yankees will head back to New York after the game today. They'll have an off-day on Monday then start a two-game set against the Dodgers on Tuesday.
