NEW YORK (AP) — Yankees utilityman Jerry Hairston Jr. has received a cortisone injection in his left wrist.
Hairston left Wednesday’s game at the Los Angeles Angels midway through an at-bat because of sharp pain after feeling a little pop. He says his wrist hasn’t felt right since he injured it diving for a ball this season while playing for Cincinnati.
He was examined Thursday by hand specialist Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser and had an MRI, which showed tendinitis. The Yankees say he is day to day.
Hairston, acquired July 31, is hitting .281 with two homers and 10 RBIs for the Yankees.
