Player Notes
May 9, 2008
Jason Giambi homered in the second inning of Friday's loss to the Tigers. The home run was hit off lefty Kenny Rogers, giving him 184 with the Yankees, passing Tommy Henrich and tying Charlie Keller for 16th place in team history.
April 18, 2008
Jason Giambi continues to struggle against anyone not named Mike Timlin. The first baseman went 0-for-4 with two strikeouts on Thursday and is batting .125. Two of his five hits and both of his homers this year have come off of Timlin. "I think his at-bats have been pretty good," manager Joe Girardi tells the New York Post. "Like I've said all along, he's run into bad luck. He's hit some balls hard. I really don't have any concerns with him. I think he's going to be really productive."
April 13, 2008
Apparently the Red Sox are the only team that can't figure out Jason Giambi. He went 1-for-3 with a solo homer and two runs on Sunday. Coming into this weekend, Giambi had only one hit, but he managed to smack two long balls in the series against the Red Sox.
April 8, 2008
Jason Giambi was back in the lineup Tuesday after missing two games with a sore left groin, according to the AP. The veteran is off to a horrible start this year, with just one hit in his first 12 at-bats, so perhaps a little time off will do him some good.
April 7, 2008
Jason Giambi did not play on Sunday due to a sore left groin, but manager Joe Girardi tells the New York Post that the slugger was available to pinch-hit. Wilson Betemit started in his place. Giambi isn't a lock to play on Monday and is day-to-day.
April 6, 2008
Jason Giambi is questionable for Sunday action due to his sore groin, according to the SportsNetwork. He only has one hit over 12 at-bats this season.
April 5, 2008
Jason Giambi left the Yankees game on Saturday after five innings because of a sore groin and he is being listed as day-to-day, this according to the AP. Giambi still has 30-HR power if he can remain on the field, but at this point we just don't know how often that will occur. Giambi has begun the year going 1-for-11, so the Yankees may be better off with Wilson Betemit or Morgan Ensberg in the lineup for a while.
April 2, 2008
Jason Giambi got his season off to a slow start on Tuesday as he went 0-for-3 against Toronto, while leaving three men on base. He enjoyed a solid spring training and should bounce back fine.
March 26, 2008
Jason Giambi had a tough day in the batters box against Philadelphia on Wednesday as he went 0-for-3 with two strikeouts. His spring average remains solid at .385 and he should bounce back fine.
March 16, 2008
Jason Giambi returned to action on Saturday and was the designated hitter. He should play first base on Sunday, according to the New York Daily News. Giambi had been out since Tuesday due to back spasms.
February 27, 2008
Manager Joe Girardi would like to play Jason Giambi a lot at first base this year, but he insists that the position is an open competition. Shelley Duncan, Morgan Ensberg and Wilson Betemit are also in the mix at first. "We have more parts than positions, but they're good parts," Girardi said in the New York Daily News. "We're trying to figure out how to get the best out of everyone." Giambi is obviously the favorite to get most of the playing time, but he could also start in the DH slot. Duncan could get a lot of starts against lefties, while Ensberg and Betemit offer the most versatility.
February 20, 2008
Jason Giambi did more running this offseason and apparently is in terrific shape this spring, according to the New York Daily News. Manager Joe Girardi said he plans to use Giambi at first base as often as possible this season, so he can split left field and DH between Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui. Giambi's entering the final year of his contract, so he has a lot to play for this season.
