Curtis Granderson has been scratched from today’s lineup with a strained right oblique. No clue how serious it is, and haven’t heard yet who’s taking his spot in the lineup.
Ugh, terrible news – oblique injuries are never good. What sucks is that he was having such a great spring……
man granderson was mashing this spring. i hope this doesnt make him unwittingly change his swing…
how he hurt his oblique. not good news, but oh well
Hopefully it’s not too serious for the Grandyman.
Hope this doesn’t set him back too much. Remember last season when he was hurt early on.
I’m glad I didn’t read that LA Times article…….the writer sounds like a nasty person. Thames is a good guy who did a great job for us last year……If he’s bad in the OF (and he is), then teams shouldn’t play him there; they should let him do what he does best. What kind of a thing is that to say to someone?
Well, let’s hope it isn’t serious. Just might be precautionary. I thought Mesa was taking Grandy’s place, Chad.
Come on with the damn Injuries already.
I didn’t read the article either, but the writer sounds like a mental midget.
Who “scratched” Curtis ?
Was it an irrate, female Boston fan ?
I hope he’ll be OK ?
MTU, Carl, I responded in previous thread. Got to fly. Good one, all.
So many players injure the oblique. Can someone explain how this happens?
Is there a doctor in the house?
Oblique this
Oblique that
Let’s just see what the tests show.
Chamberlain is back. He had a similar injury.
Might be nothin’
JAP-
Have a good day.
Watch out for all the neutrinos out there.
The yanks have been pretty lucky injury wise this spring. Hopefully this is nothing more than missing a few days (like Joba).

I was just thinking the same thing, there do seem to be many oblique injuries reported.

you were smart not to read that article. Lesson learned, I wont read anything by him again!
not as concerned about granderson missing time as i am about how this will impact his swing… he missed a month last year and it took him half the year to get back on track.
this may not be as serious, but it can mess with that swing he has going on now.
6-7 years ago (and before that). We would have read in the daily news that “Jeter tweaked a muscle”.
Now the 24-7 news cycle means we get very specific information and the specificity scares people.
“strained oblique” sounds more ominous that “pulled muscle”.
Players get pulled muscles all the time. No big deal.
Oblique strain is just a muscle strain/pull/tear, it can happen for the same reasons you pull any other muscle
I pulled a calf muscle yesterday and I still have to work
BloggingBombers Obliques are to the Yankees in 2011 what hamstrings were in 2007. Where’s Marty Miller when you need him?
Ac1, I was thinking the same thing. I dont want this latest injury to impair the progress that he’s made thus far.

————————
a pull sounds worse than a strain to me.
no reason for folks to get too worked up here……injuries get blown out of proportion on slow news days.
The reason why an oblique strain is worse than straining another muscle is there really isn’t any treatment for it except for rest. You can’t exactly immobilize your abdomen…
Erin-Why go there? Do not remind us of the string of hamstrings injuries the team suffered in 2007.
A nightmare all over again.
There goes my morning!!

WTP-I had to laugh when I saw that he had posted that, because I was trying to think what year it was that everybody seemed to have hamstring issues. I was thinking it was 2008.
It’s one thing to injure the oblique and and another entirely to injure the obtuse.
That could be serious.
Don’t want to be too straightforward.
No fun in that.
Enjoy the game folks.
Blake,
You mean your office doesn’t have a DL?!
“I pulled a calf muscle yesterday and I still have to work
”
Did your fanbase worry about you on the Blake blog?
Fran,
Not for me….Im always day to day
Mesa taking over in center field, leading off.

I feel your pain. I got a bad sunburn on my arms and my legs hurt from running around the other night.
