WITHOUT YOUKILIS, THE YANKS ARE RUNNING OUT OF BODIES

This is what we can expect... expect Kevin Youkilis to officially hit the DL today.  Why? Because it's simple, Youk is taking too long getting better and the Yankees just can't wait any longer.  They need to make some sort of move. 

CBSSports.com reports (HERE):  "Yankees are likely to place Kevin Youkilis on the 15-day DL with a back injury... The third baseman has been battling a stiff lower back.

Youkilis, 34, underwent an MRI on Monday that showed no structural damage. He will receive an epidural, however."

So what happens now? Ronnier Mustelier? Nope, he's still battling a knee injury. That's been confirmed by someone "with knowledge of the Yankees farm hands" because everyone was emailing me wondering why Ronnier fell off the face of the earth.  It turns out, he's hurt too. What else is knew?

No, what will happen will be that the Yankees will place Youk on the DL most likely, and they will call up David Adams.  Adams will fill in as the 3rd third baseman of the season for the Yanks.  That's my opinion of course.

Again, CBSSports.com says this: "...the Yankees have been using utility man Jayson Nix at third base. Triple-A infield prospects Corban Joseph (.273/.347/.477 this year) and David Adams (.327/.417/.462) could get the call to fill the vacated roster spot. Neither has ever played in the big leagues."

My money is on Adams, I just have a gut feeling. My goodness, what has happened to this club and their injuries?

Stay tuned.
