Somewhat Good News.
Xavier Nady will not need surgery and should be able to return in 4-6 weeks. That's the good news, the bad news is he has a partial tear in his right elbow and that could affect his ability to throw a baseball more than anything.
So, the Yankees could essentially have two outfielders on the roster who can't really play the outfield. That is a less than optimal situation, but there is really nothing they can do about it. Neither one is really tradeable at this point and both should hit enough to make it worth while.
Now with the Nady timetable the 60-day DL is out of the question which means adding a player to the 40-man roster is going to require someone to be released. I don't see the Yankees doing that, but I hope they don't plan on carrying 13 pitchers for the forseeable future.
