06/06: Britton Hurt; Geise Recalled
Chris Britton was
placed on on the 15-day disabled list with a pulled ribcage muscle and was replaced with right-hander Dan Giese from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi said that Britton suffered the injury -- between his ninth and tenth rib on the left side -- while warming up on Thursday afternoon. Britton is expected to have an MRI performed in New York.
"We shut him down when he was warming up last night," Girardi said. "He called and we had to shut him down."
Well, at least now I don't get to complain that he's never used!
