The Yankees' latest addition to the disabled list is Jorge Posada. He joins Alex Rodriguez, Xavier Nady, Cody Ransom, Chien-Ming Wang, Brian Bruney and Damaso Marte. Less than a month into the season, that is an absurd amount of injuries. A-Rod should be back this Friday, so at least Posada's bat will be replaced.
The Yanks will have to play without A-Rod in the two-game series with the Rays that starts tonight. Luckily, the Yankees will face their two weakest starters, and leave their big three for the Red Sox this weekend.
