Chase Headley (knee) out of lineup Thursday afternoon
Yankees third basemen Chase Headley is not in the lineup for the second straight day due to a knee injury. Cole Figueroa is batting ninth in his place and playing third base against Jesse Chavez and the Athletics.
What It Means:
As Headley said last night “The MRI showed inflammation behind the knee, hopefully it’s better in a day or so and we can have some clarity. I would be surprised if I played Thursday.’’ It's safe to say Headley's injury is a cause for concern, and we'll keep you updated on his status. Due to his spot in the lineup, Cole Figueroa is not a recommended fantasy option. He hit .317/.372/.415 in the minors this year but is only 10-for-43 in his time in the majors.
