Granderson scratched with right oblique strain
ByVia Bryan Hoch, Curtis Granderson will sit out today with a right oblique strain. They’re already calling it a strain, which is never a good sign. We will hear more information after the game, but at this point I think it’s safe to assume a DL trip.

shit.
1) fucking a.
2) well maybe now we can start Nova and Colon and still keep Garcia and Mitre? Although I guess we’ll still need a 4th outfielder.
3) fucking a.
What the hell. How the hell do you people keep straining obliques?
Seriously, what the hell? Maybe the stretching routine is lacking.
Ha, you sound like this guy in LoHud a few years ago complaining about Marty Miller during the Great Hamstring Crisis.
What do you mean, “you people?”

haha I knew that was coming.
Jerk
damn, terrible. Why are starters doing anything where they can get injured at this point in spring training.
Yeah, like taking batting practice. Wouldn’t want them doing that.
DO you even know that that’s how it happened?
Per Karl Ravech’s tweet and ESPN’s broadcast before the game.
It has not been confirmed by the Yankees yet.
And now two of my fantasy teams are all screwed up!!!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRRR!
Didn’t this kind of thing happen a few years ago? I thought the Yankees already fired the bad conditioning coach.
You mean the “director of performance enhancement”
What a poor decision to name the department that.
C’mon-if Joba can bounce back so quickly-let’s be optimistic.
Are strained obliques this year’s strained hammies? WTF?
Definitely seems like it
Can we get an oblique watch?
If if is a DL trip, then so much for the full lineup in time for Opening Day.
it*, not another if.
Just great! With Opening Day and Justin Verlander looming in less than 10 days, we lose one our best lefty threats. So who fills in? Does this mean Justin Maxwell makes the team now?
He does by default, no? Him or Golson.
why not put gardy in center and jones in left and carry another pitcher till grandy gets back?
bingo, that sounds about right. i expect jones to start getting a lot of starts
Wonder if MLB will let us flip Detroit and Minnesota on the schedule.
What would folks like to call it to make them feel better? An oblique tweek?
I’m sick and tired of oblique tweets about oblique tweeks.
Beautiful.
Did the Yankees hire the Mets 2009 physical trainers?
Could be similar to what happened yrs ago when everyone pulled a hamstring
well if he lands on the DL Jones moves to LF and Gardner to CF and replacements are:
Colin Curtis
Greg Golson
Justin Maxwell
err scratch that Curtis is on the DL with that bum shoulder, so its either Golson or Maxwell
Correct me if I am wrong but didnt Golson just come back from an oblique injury too?
It’s the curse of the oblique. Soon as Granderson comes back, another Yankee will go down.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
This can put a hamper on the big year I was expecting.
At least its gonna be Andruw Jones starting, could be a hell of a lot worse.
I think a deep breath is in order here. With nine days until Opening Day, a DL trip could mean only about a week on the shelf for Granderson. Yes, this assumes a quick recovery time, but this is certainly not going be worse than his injury last year.
Soooo anyone think Mark Prior will make the team?
