There are many pre-game notes today so let's just jump into it...
- Nick Swisher will start at DH on Wednesday. Girardi said that there was no setbacks. He just wanted to move him back to DH because of a day game after a night game. Girardi also noted that Swisher could be back in the outfield on Friday.
- Ichiro Suzuki will make his first start in left field today for the Yankees. Andruw Jones has been penciled in for left field and with a fly ball pitcher like Phil Hughes on the mound, Ichiro's speed could be used in left field.
- Casey McGehee has arrived at the ballpark today and he will wear No. 45. McGehee also shaved his beard to comply with the Yankees facial hair policy. "It's just facial hair," McGehee said. "It's not like i'm going to win any beauty pageants with or without it."
- Joba Chamberlain has been activated off the disabled list yesterday and he will be available out of the bullpen. Joe Girardi said that he will treat him like any other guy in the bullpen and he doesn't think that he has limitations on when he can use him.
- Ramiro Pena's stint with the Yankees is over for now. Pena has been optioned to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre to make room for Casey McGehee on the 25-man roster.
The Yankees will play the finale against the Orioles today at the Stadium.nbsp;
