New York Yankees outfielder Nick Swisher hopes he can return to the lineup this weekend at home against the Boston Red Sox after missing the last five games with a strained left hip flexor.
Pinch-hitter Jayson Nix lined a three-run double off Seattle reliever Shawn Kelley in the eighth inning, and the New York Yankees rallied for a 5-2 win over the Mariners on Wednesday to complete a 2-5 West Coast trip.
There's no reason to panic about the loss of Alex Rodriguez to a broken hand.
Since Alex Rodriguez will be out of the Yankees line up for six to eight weeks, Brian Cashman will need someone to fill his role.
The news on Joba has been good. Really good.
Ichiro Suzuki last played in meaningful games in the final weeks of the regular season more than 10 years ago. Now he's playing for a team that is disappointed when it doesn't win a World Series title.
It doesn't get much worse than this for a Major League Baseball star. Insult, then injury.

MLB's best team just got better. Yes, we're talking about the Yankees. And yes, they're atop Evan's weekly rankings.
Suzuki is the most recognizable athlete in Japan, where he is revered for his stoicism, perseverance and attention to detail.
This doesn't go into the overkill category that "trade-for-ARod-and-make-him-a-third-baseman" seemed in 2004. But but trading for Ichiro Suzuki definitely felt like a Yankee move.
Ichiro is a Yankee and Joba Chamberlain's return is just around the corner. But there's one guy fans shouldn't expect to see again this season: Mariano Rivera.
Ichiro Suzuki has a new team and, after all these years, maybe a shot at playing in the World Series. "I am going from a team with the most losses to a team with the most wins," he said. "It's hard to contain my excitement for that reason."
Ichiro Suzuki switched teams in Seattle after a momentous trade and singled his first time up with the New York Yankees during their 4-1 victory over the Mariners on Monday night.
