Yankees' Posada Back in Lineup

CLEVELAND (AP) Jorge Posada is back in the New York Yankees' lineup after missing one game with a sore left knee.

The veteran switch-hitter was listed sixth in the lineup as the designated hitter for New York's third game of a four-game series against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night.

Posada was listed as the catcher on Tuesday night, before being scratched by manager Joe Girardi a few minutes before game time.

Francisco Cervelli, who caught that game, was listed to be behind the plate again.

Posada went 1 for 3 with a run in the Yankees' 3-2 win Monday night. He is hitting .269 with 12 homers and 38 RBIs in 69 games this season.
