NEW YORK —The Yankees obtained third baseman Casey McGehee from Pittsburgh for
reliever Chad Qualls on Tuesday, giving them a right-handed batter to plug in
while Alex Rodriguez and Mark Teixeira recuperate from hand injuries. Chris Johnson Youth Jersey . McGehee, 29, is
hitting .230 with eight homers and 35 RBIs in almost 300 plate appearances. The
33-year-old Qualls was acquired by New York from Philadelphia on July 1 and
pitched in eight games. The AL East-leading Yankees expect to fill his spot in
the bullpen with Joba Chamberlain. He was set to make a rehab start at Double-A
Trenton on Tuesday night, but was told to head to the Bronx after the deal was
done just before the 4 p.m. deadline for trades without waivers. He could be
seen in the dugout before the game. Rodriguez is on the disabled list after
breaking a bone in his hand when he was hit by a pitch last week. Teixeira
received a cortisone shot Tuesday, a day after leaving a game against Baltimore.
The Yankees customarily make small-bore deals to strengthen their bullpen or
bench around the July 31 deadline for trades without waivers. McGehees addition
follows one last week to add outfielder Ichiro Suzuki, though McGehee will
mostly be used to fortify a bench that includes Andruw Jones and Raul Ibanez and
has been a strong point all season for the Yankees as they deal with a number of
injuries. Manager Joe Girardi said he expected to use McGehee at first and third
base. Eric Chavez has mostly filled in at third this season, though he has four
starts at first, as does usual right fielder Nick Swisher, who is freer to play
at first with the acquisition last week of Ichiro Suzuki from the Seattle
Mariners. On Tuesday night, Ichiro played in right, Swisher was at first and
Chavez played third against right-handed starter Chris Tillman. “Obviously, with
the Alex thing, he gives us a right-handed bat. Were pretty left-handed,”
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. “It gives Joe flexibility.” Earlier
Tuesday afternoon, Teixeira said he hoped to be back as soon as Friday. His left
wrist was in a brace and he said he was hoping rest, ice, and
anti-inflammatories would have him ready to go by then. Kenny Britt Jersey . LOUIS —Lance Berkman
expects to be back in the St. Jake Locker Jersey . But its fair to assume
that more than a few eyebrows were raised when last December the Saskatchewan
Roughriders made Corey Chamblin the youngest head coach in the CFL in 29 years,
fresh off his one and only season as defensive co-ordinator with the Hamilton
Tiger-Cats, which followed stints as defensive backs coach in Winnipeg and
Calgary. http://www.shopthetitans.com/kendall-wright-jerseys

finished with an overall 19-under 269. He is the second Austrian winner of the

made the most of a brief opportunity. Chris Johnson Jersey . Casey withdrew from
The Players Championship in Florida on Thursday after shooting a 42 on the front
nine in the first round. He dislocated the shoulder snowboarding over the
holidays. “Unfortunately, despite having had intensive treatment since last
Thursday, I have been advised not to play,” Casey said.Ottawa Senators forward
Daniel Alfredsson did not travel with the team to New York for Game 5 of their
Eastern Conference quarter-final series, but the team captain made progress back
home. While he did not participate in the teams practice in Ottawa on Friday,
Alfredsson did take to the ice Saturday morning. Alfredsson suffered a
concussion after being hit by Rangers forward Carrl Hagelin in Game 2 of the
series and has yet to return to the lineup. Jamie Harper Jersey. Hagelin, who was
assessed a five-minute major penalty for elbowing on the play, was suspended for
three games for the incident. He will be eligible to return for Mondays Game 6
in Ottawa. The Senators and Rangers resume their series this evening from New
York; the series tied 2-2. ’ ’ ’
