Player Notes
September 30, 2006
After starting yesterday's game, Jorge Posada probably will rest today, according to the New York Daily News. That will give Posada a little extra rest before the playoffs and Sal Fasano one more start.
July 20, 2006
Jorge Posada was a late scratch yesterday because his right index finger was swollen, according to the New York Daily News. Posada sustained the injury when he was hit by a foul ball in the 11th inning the night before. His status for tonight is uncertain.
June 21, 2006
Jorge Posada will get a routine day off on Wednesday, according to the Yankees website. Manager Joe Torre believes that Wednesday off combined with the Yankees day off on Thursday will provide a significant rest for Posada. Kelly Stinnett will start at catcher.
June 15, 2006
Jorge Posada may not be in the lineup tonight after getting hit on the right elbow by a pitch on Wednesday night, according to Newsday. "The problem was gripping the bat," manager Joe Torre said. "He can throw and catch all right, but of course if he can't swing it, he won't be playing [this afternoon]."
June 13, 2006
Jorge Posada is still bothered by his left hamstring injury, according to Newsday. However, without Gary Sheffield and Hideki Matsui, Posada plans to stay in the lineup. "He's getting better," manager Joe Torre said. "I don't think he's injured, it's just that he's gradually going to get better. It's a tendon that, to put it this way, doesn't need to be repaired. It's one of those things in your body that serves a purpose, but the purpose has nothing to do with running."
May 29, 2006
Although Jorge Posada said he could pinch-hit if needed, he added that the biggest problem presented by his torn hamstring tendon is running the bases, according to the New York Daily News. While it's unclear when he'll be ready to catch again, Yankees manager Joe Torre said that "it'll be significantly less than" the 15 days it would cost Posada to head to the disabled list.
May 28, 2006
Jorge Posada was able to test his torn left hamstring tendon by hitting on Saturday, according to the New York Daily News. However, the Yankees aren't sure exactly when he will return to action. Posada said he felt all right while swinging the bat. "The only problem is running right now," Posada said.
May 26, 2006
If Jorge Posada doesn't show progress from his hamstring injury over the next few days, he could be placed on the disabled list, according to Newsday. GM Brian Cashman said: "We just have to wait for the swelling to go down before he could play. How long that is, I don't know." The Yankees will likely call up Wil Nieves from Triple-A today to provide some depth behind the plate.
May 25, 2006
Jorge Posada has a torn hamstring tendon in his left knee and will be sidelined for at least a few days, according to the AP. He will be evaluated over the weekend. The Yankees are expected to call up a catcher from the minor leagues on Friday.
May 24, 2006
A sore hamstring kept Jorge Posada out of the starting lineup on Wednesday night, according to the AP. Yankees manager Joe Torre said he would wait for results of an MRI Posada is scheduled to have Thursday, an off day, before deciding whether to add a catcher to the 25-man roster.
May 24, 2006
Yankees manager Joe Torre said that Jorge Posada is considered "questionable" for tonight's game, according to the New York Daily News. A tendon behind his left knee flared up last night, a problem Posada said is caused by the strap on the back of his shin guard constantly rubbing.
May 21, 2006

May 21, 2006

May 20, 2006
It's not clear if Jorge Posada will be able to play today after leaving yesterday's game in the second inning due to a stiff back, according to the New York Daily News.

April 4, 2006
Jorge Posada caught Randy Johnson on Monday night, but Kelly Stinnett will catch his next start on Saturday, according to Newsday. Manager Joe Torre said he made the decision because it's a night game before a day game. It remains unclear who will catch Johnson the rest of the season.
March 30, 2006

March 27, 2006
Jorge Posada said he doesn't expect his broken nose to keep him from playing on opening day, according to the New York Daily News.

March 23, 2006

March 24, 2006
Jorge Posada might miss opening day due to his broken nose, according to the AP. There is no timetable for when he will resume workouts. "I don't think we can really make a statement either way until we see him, until he come out and starts working out and see how comfortable he is," Joe Torre said. "That's the most important thing, and I told him that. Whether it's opening day or two days later, it's no big deal for us. The most important thing is to heal the way you need to and then whatever work you feel you need going in we'll get that done."
