JACKSON STILL WAITING FOR HIS TURN
Despite the frail nature of the Yankees lineup these days, Jackson continues to wait patiently for his shot at the majors.
While the injury to Xavier Nagy, opened the door somewhat, it’s been the health issues of the New York arms that are causing the most player movements to the Bronx.
On Sunday, the Yankees promoted RHP Mark Melancon, RHP David Robertson, and INF Angel Berroa from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, while migrating RHP Brian Bruney (15-day), RHP Chien-Ming Wang (15-day) and 3B Cody Ransom (60-day) to the disabled list.
Melky Cabrera, Johnny Damon, Brett Gardner and Nick Swisher continue to patrol the Yankee outfield in rotating shifts.

AVG – .354; 2B – 1; 3B – 2; HR – 0; RBI – 10; BB – 6; SO – 15; OPS – .887
