This release from the Yankees:
RHP Dan Giese was examined today by Dr. Chris Ahmad at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital in New York. He was diagnosed with rotator cuff tendinitis and will be placed on the 15-day disabled list. The club will make a corresponding move tomorrow.
That rotator cuff tendinitis is contagious it seems. Now they need a starter for Tuesday.
Darrell Rasner could be the choice. Then they can wait until Aug. 23 to bring Phil Hughes back.
Oh, and Hideki Matsui will play for Single-A Tampa tonight, weather permitting.
great, another guy who’s been solid on the DL
Stop waiting and get Hughes back now!
The organization doesn’t want to rush Hughes back and throw him into the fray, so I assume Rasner will get the start in Toronto. But jeez, I would much rather watch Phil try and erase a terrible year than another Darrell Rasner start. At this point, it would bring some excitement to watching a game that has been kind of lacking for the past, oh, 10 games or so.
No, let hughes wait until he’s ready to come up. Rushing these young guys hasn’t been beneficial so far. This team isn’t going anywhere anyway.
His description of the injury did sound awfully similar to Joba’s description. This is the diagnosis I expected to hear.
Always good to pitch your starter in relief a few days after throwing 85 pitches.
I kind of enjoy watching Razmatazz battle it out with his mediocre stuff. That guy really has to PITCH and has to work out of a lot of jams. Way more often than not, it seems to me, he keeps us in the game. But if we can’t get Joba wins, how can we get Razmatazz wins?
And here’s yet another ‘non-truth’ from the Yankees manager. And I quote: “It shouldn’t jeopardize anything Tuesday. … I don’t think it’ll be a problem. He’ll just have treatment probably tomorrow and Friday and be back in our bullpen Saturday.” (from an earlier post)
Why can’t he come straight out to say “he probably won’t make his next start” – it’s not going to kill anyone to admit that there’s something wrong
I’m thinking Hughes needs one more minor league start. I wouldn’t want to see him in the 85-100 pitch range for the first time in months against major league hitting.
If the Yankees are indeed out of the playoff race, the most important thing in these remaining games will be to have Hughes pitch well and get his confidence back to kind of jump start him for next year. Also, so the F.O. knows whether to look to him for one rotation spot, or have to fill the void if they don’t see good signs out of him late this year.
“Always good to pitch your starter in relief a few days after throwing 85 pitches.”
Because three full days of rest is not enough to pitch only one inning in relief…
who cares. seasons over. tank the season and get a top draft pick
RayBlay, how would he know that before Giese visited the doctor?
He speculated on the injury based on what his trainers told him.
It’s funny… Girardi gets killed for being secretive about injuries now he is getting killed for revealing information that happened to be wrong based upon doctor’s examinations.
What do you guys want? Girardi isin’t a doctor, he can’t diagnose injuries as soon as they happen.
the curse of Joe Girardi is starting.
First Florida now New York, it was a matter of time.
This team’s the Britton express is back in town.
*means
Enough with Rasner in the rotation.
Bring up Hughes, rushing him.. Enough with that nonsense.. The guy itched in the playoffs last year..
Matsui playing tonight now that is good news…
I don’t want to sound like I’m giving up on this season but half of me wouldn’t necessarily mind if the Yanks fell out of contention giving the kids (Phil and IPK) a chance to pitch in the majors without the pressure and get their stuff sorted out for next season without every start being a do or die situation.
I knew there was something floozie about that “C” on Varitek’s jersey.

Tank, I don’t think so. Not sure who would be up. Maybe Melancon.
It would be great to give Hughes another (hopefully solid) start at AAA. Chad Moeller said he’s completely different now from when Chad caught him earlier in the year. Mid-90′s FB and a cutter (new pitch) that he controls. Will be great when he’s ready.
ESPN already has Rasner pitching on Tuesday, instead of Giese.
“The guy itched in the playoffs last year..”
I think it was Joba who itched in the playoffs. Hughes PITCHED in the playoffs. (:
I agree with giving Hughes 1 more start in AAA. He wasn’t that crisp in his last start. Good results, but his command was not great.
Jennifer, Melancon is on an innings limit coming off TJ surgery. I’d love to see him this year, and we may still see him for a couple of innings as a September call up, but he’s not coming up to pitch another 25 innings down the stretch.

“Mid-90’s FB”
92-93 is not mid 90′s. He’s touching 95 here and there, but he sits low 90′s. Let’s not get carried away. He’ll help. He will not solve most of what ails this team.
The Steinbrenners need to buy out the Phoenix Suns medical staff from Bob Sarver. Injuries are a part of the game but it’s ridiculous how much the Yankees get hurt.
chase wright deserves another shot
this season isnt over you freakin sissies
NEVER concede to the red sox NEVER EVER!!!!
steve you know what you are right. I think he was done pretty well in AAA. Give him another shot. He actually did pretty well when he was up here, up until that game in Boston.
More like curse of A-rod…
’04- biggest choke in playoff history
’05- knocked out first round
’06- knocked out first round
’07- knocked out first round
’08- playoffs???????
not a good trend folks
Fredo,
Chad had him at 93-94, http://emedia.thetimes-tribune.....fault.aspx, and Ed Price had the Moeller interview, http://www.nj.com/yankees/inde.....looks.html. He was 92-93 when he went on the DL, and he’s throwing harder now.
sceptic is correct sir
Fredo,
It’s pretty amazing how you are better able to judge Hughes’s fastball than his catcher is. What other sorts of remote divining are you expert at, and how much does the government pay you?
i cant believe that 80% think yanks are done? are these really yankee fans?
Fredo, Chad Jennings had him at 93-94, and Ed Price had the Moeller interview. Links seem disfavored here, so you’ll have to hunt them down on those guy’s blogs, since my post with the links got rejected.
Hughes was 92-93 when he went on the DL, and he’s throwing harder now.
fredo, the last few times joba pitched, he threw most of his fb’s at around 93 and only cranked it up (as high as 98) a couple of times
so by your way of estimating, he’s a low-90′s pitcher.
dont we have about 12 games with tampa and sox left? maybe i’ll sell my tix?
funny. same guys who think yanks are done will jump back on if they sweep kc
I would ask Phil where he wants to pitch. If he feels ready give him the ball.
Poor Rasner, I hope somebody gives him a shot next year. He hasn’t done that bad considering he’s got the weight of NY on his back every time he goes out there. I think he’s proved that he can at least survive in the Majors.
Did you guys see the picture of the Melky-Cano debacle yesterday in today’s Daily News. It sort of sums up their whole year. Those two play baseball like two teenagers who just discovered that Pink Floyd and weed go good together.
stranger things have happened in baseball. we can cut the wild card lead in 1/2 in a week.
melky waves to the bleacher creatures while fielding a ball. he and cano are gone and buddy abreu too. see ya.
Hughes throws 150mph now.
What they need is a solid 9-1 stretch here.
Hard but not impossible. Boston and TB play 500 ball and this thing is tight before you know it.
The thing is who has seen anything from this bunch that says they can reel off 9 out of 10? Win 12 out of 15?
“Those two play baseball like two teenagers who just discovered that Pink Floyd and weed go good together”
exactly…Vets know it’s Pink Floyd and acid
Does this rash of rotator cuff tendonitis combined with the disappointing showings of Kennedy and Hughes indicate the Yankees do not know how to handle/promote pitching prospects?
ahh 1978 pink floyd and purple dot acid – those were the days my friend, i’d thought they’d never end!
