Jeter, Martin and Swisher Scratched From Yankees Lineup
Derek Jeter was pulled from today's lineup because of a tender left calf. Joe Girardi said he decided Jeter won't play again until Tuesday. Taking Jeter out of the lineup is more precautionary than anything. Girardi hasn't forgotten what happened to Jeter's right calf last year.
Also, Russell Martin was scratched because of soreness in his left groin. Its not yet determined if the soreness is connected to yesterday's awkward play at first base with National's pitcher, Chien-Ming Wang.
Nick Swisher told Girardi that his tight groin feels better, but Girardi decided not to play him either.
