ENCOURAGING CERVELLI & GRANDERSON NEWS

Looks like there is good news coming from the Yankees disabled list. We always like good news when anyone of our players are progressing from injuries, and are closer to coming back to play. Well, I'm happy to say that Francisco Cervelli is inching his way closer to coming home and back behind home plate.

According to Wallace Matthews the pins have been removed from his injured hand and is in Tampa playing catch, and been participating in bullpen sessions. Read that HERE. He continues to strengthen his hand through rehab and exercise. Cervelli suffered a fracture in his right hand by a foul tip in just the first inning of a game against the Toronto Blue Jays. He needed surgery to repair the fracture and was said to miss 6 weeks at the time. He was off to a good start the 2013 campaign prior to the injury. He was hitting with a .269 BA., 3 HR's and 8 RBI's. Even though the team will not give a definitive time table on when he will be back, it is looking like it could be back sometime in the coming weeks.


We do know that we can see "Cisco" before we see Curtis Granderson who still has a pin inserted into his fractured pinky on his left hand. He still has yet to resume any baseball activities. I love knowing our guys are getting back to being 100% and are close to being given the green light. Barring setbacks, of course. A better way to look at it, is the disabled list is getting thin. Hopefully, we can rejoice at some point when it is completely empty. Wishful thinking on my part, I know. But many of you are thinking the same as well.

Some good news out of Yankee land, we will take it!
