I asked and apparently I received.  Kevin Russo is up and active with the team.  Nick Johnson is going on the DL.  I don't know if you saw the postgame last night, but he looked pretty worried when he talked about it.  No point in speculating further, but Juan Miranda might get a callup when he heals from being HBP in Scranton.

The problem of course is that if the move is indeed Johnson to the DL for Russo, that still leaves 13 pitchers on the roster.  And, since Posada is again out of the lineup.  That leaves a bench of Posada with his cranky calf, Cano with his cranky knee (though Girardi said he could play if he feels ok in BP) and Russo. The papers today were full of stories about Joe Girardi looking at Javier Vazquez and asking him if he used to play infield during last night's game.  So, why didn't the Yankees take advantage of Johnson's injury to recall Golson and turn Sanchez into Russo? Hughes gave them seven innings last night and while Robertson and Logan each worked an inning, they only threw 24 and 11 pitches respectively.  Do you really need that extra reliever under those circumstances?

UPDATE (2PM): Sweeny Murti is reporting that Cano will DH today and that Johnson received a cortisone shot in his wrist and Brian Cashman said he would be out "several" weeks.
