Curtis Granderson left the game in the 5th inning against the Rays on Friday after getting hit in the left hand by a pitch. He would stay in the game, but after he scored on a bases-loaded walk by Jayson Nix, he went straight into the clubhouse.
Granderson previously broke his forearm in his first at-bat of Spring Training way back in February. He was activated off the disabled list just ten days ago.
There has been no word on his condition, but we will update you as soon as we get more.

Good news has come out of the Yankees training complex down in Tampa, Florida recently. Mark Teixeira, who has not played a game this season due to a wrist injury, is expected to make a rehab appearance for Double-A Trenton on Wednesday. If all goes well then Texieira's return to the Bronx is just a couple weeks away.
Teixeira has stated that he needs approximately 50 at-bats to gets his timing down.
Mark Teixeira has been appearing in simulated games for the past week and seems ready to take the next step.
