Cervelli Shut Down Indefinitely

Brian Cashman informed the media via a teleconference earlier today that catcher Francisco Cervelli had a "stress reaction" to his right elbow and has been shut down for at least two weeks.

Cervelli was placed on the DL after he suffered a broken hand courtesy of a Rajai Davis foul ball on April 26.  He had been making good progress and was expected to be one of the first Yankees to return from the DL.

Cashman said the source of the problem was an old stress fracture Cervelli had suffered.

The Yankees continue to get catch a break...literally.

Stress is no Damn Good

Brian Cashman revealed earlier today that Phil Hughes does not have a strained oblique, but rather a stress fracture of the 9th rib on his right side. Translation- he'll be out even longer than expected.

Hughes most likely won't touch a baseball for a month and then will have to build his arm strength back up. Freddy Garcia is probably sitting at home right now licking his chops.
