With a pair of Grade 1 quad strains between them, the contributions that are expected out of Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez are obviously lowered further and delayed longer.
Once Derek Jeter retires -- his suddenly balky body is hastening the process -- and assuming Mariano Rivera makes good on his curtain call, Harvey will have Broadway to himself.
The lack of power on this team is staggering. A three-game series at Fenway Park without a single home run? That hasn't happened to the Bombers since 1995.
On Saturday, it appeared A-Rod was on target to return from offseason hip surgery early this week. Now, it's unclear when he might be back.
Yankees Team Physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad revealed that A-Rod has a Grade 1 strain of his left quadriceps.
If A-Rod is not activated Monday, he will likely be placed on the inactive list and then return for another rehab stint.
After four days off for the All-Star break, the Yankees kick off an important three-game series against the Red Sox on Friday night in Boston.
The Yankees placed their captain on the 15-day DL on Friday. He strained his right quad in his first game back with New York last week after being out all season with a broken left ankle.
The 37-year-old told WFAN this week that he would return to New York's lineup Monday. That's still the goal, though he acknowledged the decision is ultimately up to the team.
Donnie Baseball deserves another look from Hall of Fame voters. Between 1984-1987, Mattingly averaged 29 home runs and 120 RBIs per season. His on-base plus slugging during that stretch was .918, .939, .967 and .937.
General manager Brian Cashman, who famously F-bombed A-Rod's last announcement, didn't throw cold water on anything this time. But he didn't exactly confirm it, either.
David Robertson still believes the injury-plagued New York Yankees can overcome their struggles and make a push for the postseason.
Alex Rodriguez joined WFAN radio host Mike Francesa on Wednesday to talk about his rehab and a little about baseball's Biogenesis scandal.
Start the countdown: A-Rod's return is just five days away. "I will be back on Monday and I'm very excited," he told WFAN radio Wednesday.
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman announced on Wednesday that Alex Rodriguez will move his rehab assignment from Double-A Trenton to Triple-A Scranton.
"Hopefully for the fans' sake, they stay in the stands," Snitsky told Pennlive.com. "Because if they don't, there could be a problem."
The game belongs to the players, coaches, managers and owners. If they want it clean, they have the power to make it so, even if it becomes extremely uncomfortable for the guilty few. They need only to come together and get it done.
The baseball players' association says any suspensions resulting from the sport's latest drug investigation likely won't be served until next year if the discipline is challenged before an arbitrator.
Even though Tuesday night's All-Star game is for the young, there's still a place at Citi Field for the guys sporting a bit of gray.
The commish knows whether Alex Rodriguez will be suspended in the sport's latest performance-enhancing drugs scandal. He's just not saying -- yet.
The New York Yankees third baseman had struggled in his first eight rehab games in Class-A, but looked comfortable in his first Eastern League game.
The entire apparatus is so swathed in entitlement that you, the fan, the customer, client, and de facto employer have become lost in the tornadic narcissism. You're just too dumb. You didn't play the game.
Rodriguez, mum on his meeting with MLB, is expected to be with the Double-A team as the Thunder open a three-game series in Reading, Pa., Monday.
A-Rod is 3 for 21 (.143) with three RBIs and six strikeouts during his injury rehabilitation assignment.
The best possible outcome for Rodriguez would be a 150-game suspension.
