Brett Gardner shut down for 10 days after aggravating elbow injury
May 10, 2012, 10:20 PM EDT
UPDATE: According to Marc Carig of the Newark Star-Ledger, Gardner won’t pick up a bat for 10 days after aggravating the muscle in his right elbow.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi estimated that he’ll miss 15-25 days, so we won’t see him back until late May or early June at this point.
4:31 PM: Brett Gardner was expected to be activated Thursday after playing two minor league rehab games with Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, but it didn’t happen. Why? Setback:
Girardi said Gardner had a “little setback” and is being sent for another MRI on his elbow.

Not good news. The Yankees lineup is having some trouble these days and could use Gardner’s on-base skills and speed. More news as we learn it.

And Mo had a “little sprain” in his knee and Pineda had a “little setback” in his rehab.
I’m having a “little setback” in my enthusiasm today.

Not to mention needing his”near” Gold Glove performance in the left field. SHut him down until he’s completely healthy so he can have a long career with the Yanks.

By the time September rolls around there won’t be anyone left to play the games at this rate! My goodness!
