Update: Swisher leaves game with mild left hip flexor
By1:08am: The Yankees say it’s a mild left hip flexor for Swisher and he’s day-to-day. That’s generally good news, at least in the sense that it’s not a groin strain or something really bad.
12:09am: Nick Swisher left tonight’s game with an apparent left leg injury; he was pointing to his groin and quad in the dugout when talking to trainer Steve Donohue. Swisher pulled up lame while running out a ground ball in the seventh. The last thing the Yankees need right now is another outfield injury, so hopefully it was just a cramp and not something serious. Updates to come.

Probably pulled his groin with that massive swing and miss at ball 4…
It’s quite possible that he pulled his groin whilst fapping to Jeff Karstens porn.

Mmmmmmmmmm….
So if he goes on the DL for 15days maybe we get a chance to look at Chris Dickerson again… I wish they could give him a a final look-see before trading for an outfielder — alot of these guys you feature don’t seem to be that much better than Dickerson is (IMHO)
I am very worried about the outfield situation next year. Gardner is no guarantee to be able to play everyday, and without Swisher, a 3-way platoon seems to be in place in the corner outfield for Gardner/Jones/FA outfielder.
Honestly, I hope Swisher’s value continues to decrease in hope of a pay cut, I still don’t see it happening.
But, realistically speaking, who could be added to Gardner and Jones in the corner outfield timeshare, who could come cheaply?
The long-term won’t be addressed before the trade deadline, and who knows what trades are possible this winter. Sort of related, Nady was just released by the Nats. A cheap second tour w the yanks for a half season?
