If you didn't read the title of these pre-game notes, then here you go: Things are not look good for the Yankees' left-handed specialist Boone Logan. Logan has been dealing with elbow problems ever since hurting his elbow on what he says what the pitch that Mike Napoli hit for a game-tying grand slam against the Yankees last week.
Logan was taken for a MRI over the weekend and even had a cortisone shot injected in his left elbow, but things are getting better, and now the Yankees are sending the results of his MRI to Dr. James Andrews, which is never a good thing for a pitcher to be connected to Dr. Andrews.
In the meantime, prior to tonight's game against the Baltimore Orioles, the Yankees have called up left-hander Mike Zagurski, who threw six inning for the Oakland Athletics Triple-A team this season, before spending the last few weeks in Triple-A Scranton for the Yanks, where he posted a 3.08 ERA in 26 1/3 innings.
Logan was hoping he could return to the mound by the Friday when the Yankees open up a three-game series at Fenway Park against the Boston Red Sox.
“I think he ruled out until we say otherwise,” Said Yankees general manager Brian Cashman. “If you go zero to 10, zero being down and out, and 10 being fully recovered, he hit zero the other day. He’s still stuck at zero. I don’t think he’s made any progress.”
To make room for Zagurski on the 40-man roster, the Yankees transferred DH Travis Hafner to the 60-day DL, effectively ending his season, said Cashman. Hafner has been out since late-July because of problems in his right shoulder. After signing for just $2M this offseason, Hafner hit .318 with 6 homeruns in April, but his production fell dramatically, hitting just 6 more homeruns and dropping his batting average to .202 before getting hurt.
