The New York Yankees have finally placed first baseman Mark
Teixeira on the 15 day disabled list with his deep bone bruise in his shin.
Teixeira fouled a ball off the shin and has, with the exception of one game
started and one pinch hitting appearance against the Houston Astros, been out
ever since. New York placed Teixeira on the DL retroactive to August 27th
meaning he will be eligible to come off the disabled list on September 10th,
although after his last round of tests on his shin he will still be on crutches
by then.
The move allows the Yankees to call up Nick Rumbelow before
his ten day waiting period expired on September 6th. New York has
dropped the ball from day one on this whole situation, he should have been
placed on the disabled list immediately rather than playing for two weeks with
a short bench. He should have also been placed on the DL on September 1st
when rosters expanded to get either Rumbelow or Nick Goody, who is also
ineligible to come back until September 6th, in the bullpen.
I expect more out of this organization and they really
disappointed me on this one. Thankfully the Yankees team as a whole has picked
up the slack left behind with the injury and picked up the organization with a
few wins when the whole situation had the ability to bury the season.
