Yankees place Derek Jeter (Quad) on disabled list

The Yankees have announced on Friday that they have placed Derek Jeter on the 15-day disabled list with a right quad strain.

Jeter injured his right quad in his first game back from his ankle injury on July 11th while running the bases.

Derek Jeter has already missed 91 games this season due to his broken right ankle. Jeter sat out the final three games before the All-Star break, hoping that his quad would heal. He underwent more tests on Friday, but they still showed a strain in his quad. He is eligible to be reinstated from the disabled list on July 27th.

Eduardo Nunez will take over as the Yankee shortstop until Jeter returns.

The Yankees were unable to go into the All-Star break on a high note as they were defeated 10-4 by the Twins on Sunday. 

C.C. Sabathia allowed eight runs, three of them earned, on eight hits in four innings of work. He struck out five, but walked two. He finished his outing with 93 pitches thrown, in which 60 of them were for strikes. 

The Yankee defense really ruined Sabathia's start as their miscues accounted for most of the Twins runs. The Yankees commited two official errors in the game today, but some defensive plays resulted as doubles instead of errors. The Yankees allowed the Twins to get two free doubles today as Robinson Cano and Vernon Wells had a miscommunication in the outfield. Ichiro Suzuki also misplayed a ball as it skipped right by him to his left. 

The Yankees hope to enjoy the All-Star break and really make a push in the second half of the season.
