Jeter Leaves Game With Tight Hamstring (Updated)

UPDATE (7:15 pm): After the game Joe Girardi had this to say about Jeter's hammy: “We won’t really know more until tomorrow. He got hit in the back of the hamstring, and it stiffened up, so we said we’ll take you out, get some ice on it and see how it feels tomorrow.”

As if this team needed any more of this crap..... Derek Jeter left today's game after a single in the seventh with tightness in his left hamstring. Earlier in the game he was hit on the area by Indians starter Mitch Talbot, and didn't look too good running to first on the single. I'm sure he'll be fine and back in the lineup soon.

Oh No! Pettitte Leave Game With Stiff Elbow (Updated)

(Updated) According to Chad Jennings, Pettitte's MRI "revealed mild inflammation of his left elbow. It will be treated conservatively and will be evaluated on a daily basis at this point."

Earlier in the day, Brian Cashman said he expects Pettitte to miss one start.
....

From Bryan Hoch:
Andy Pettitte left today's start after five innings due to stiffness in his elbow. He's having a MRI.And here's a quote from Pettitte via Chad Jennings:
“Any time you’re talking about the area around the elbow, you start to worry a little bit,” Pettitte said through a team spokesman. “I think it’ll be fine, but I’ll more a lot more when the MRI results come back.”Yikes, that makes three of the Core Four that are now dealing with some sort of injury. The Yankees got lucky with Mariano and Jorge, let's hope that whatever is bothering Pettitte isn't anything major.
