Tonight’s lineup – Yankees vs Tigers (08/17/10)
Alex Rodriguez is not in tonight’s lineup, and is listed day-to-day with a tight left calf. A-Rod left before the fifth inning with tightness in is calf. No tests on the calf are scheduled.
As first reported on Yankees.com, Nick Swisher was pulled from Monday’s 3-1 loss to Detroit in the sixth inning with a tight right forearm, and was listed day-to-day. Well, it took less then 24 hours.
Swisher is back in the lineup and playing in right field.
Lance Berkman remains day-to-day according to Joe Girardi:
“I don’t expect it to be a long time, but I don’t know if it’s going to be two days or one day or three days,” Girardi said. “I doubt I would have him today [as a pinch-hitter].”
