Jeter ready to go; Moeller to catch for Yankees

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was in the posted lineup for Monday night's game against Tampa Bay.

Jeter hasn't played since leaving a game on April 7 due to a strained left quadriceps muscle.

Chad Moeller, whose contract was purchased Monday from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, was listed as the starting catcher. Regular catcher Jorge Posada has been slowed by a right shoulder injury.

Backup catcher Jose Molina was out of the lineup. He left Sunday's game against Boston with a hamstring injury.

The Yankees officially reversed the jersey curse yesterday - extracting from the new stadium's concrete a David Ortiz shirt planted by a Red Sox-obsessed hardhat hoping to hex his team's arch rivals. Then they warned the traitorous construction worker, Gino Castignoli, to watch his back, saying criminal and civil charges could be on deck. Yankee President Randy Levine yesterday proudly held up the tattered shirt, which he said would be donated to Boston's Jimmy Fund for auction to raise money for cancer treatment and research.

Jorge Posada's shoulder injury does not appear to be season-threatening. That's the early word on the New York Yankees catcher following an exam by Dr. James Andrews on Monday.

Posada was placed on the 15-day disabled list for the first time in his career on Monday, ending a remarkable run of durability at baseball's most physically demanding position.

The 36-year-old, who has caught at least 120 games in each of the past eight seasons, finally succumbed to pain in his right shoulder that he had been feeling for most of the season's first month.

While the early indications point to a return this season for Posada, a complete diagnosis won't be known for a few more days.

NEW YORK -- Struggling pitcher Ian Kennedy was sent to the minor leagues Sunday by the New York Yankees, who purchased Darrell Rasner's contract from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

The Yankees promised patience with their young pitchers this season, but Kennedy was optioned to Triple-A after going 0-2 with an 8.37 ERA in six games, including five starts.

"I was kind of surprised," Kennedy said. "But it's bound to happen if you don't win, especially here."

Rasner pitched well yesterday... Also some of Kennedy's quotes make you scratch your head. He said something to the effect of "I'm looking forward to pitching where every pitch isn't life or death, and you aren't scrutinized as much".

ummmmmmm kid, you pitch in NY, and in the major leagues. What do you think it's gonna be like?

NASHUA, N.H. - A woman accused of running down a man in her car after a Red Sox-Yankees argument in a bar never hit her brakes as she accelerated toward the small group he was in, a prosecutor said Monday.


"She never braked, and she accelerated at a high speed for about 200 feet. She went directly at this group of people," prosecutor Susan Morrell said of Ivonne Hernandez, who is charged with reckless second-degree murder in the death early Friday of Matthew Beaudoin, 29.
Authorities won't describe the argument beforehand in Slade's Food & Spirits, but witnesses said it heated up when Hernandez identified herself as a New York Yankees fan. Like the rest of New Hampshire, Nashua, 45 miles northwest of Boston, is Red Sox country. Bartender Tanya Moran said the argument spilled outside, and at least one person in a group that included Beaudoin began chanting ``Yankees suck!'' when they saw a Yankees sticker on Hernandez's car.

NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada and Phil Hughes are expected to travel to the New York Yankees' spring-training facility in Florida on Thursday to continue rehabbing their injuries.

Rodriguez (strained right quadriceps) ran in the outfield before New York's game against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday night. The third baseman also played catch, fielded grounders and took batting practice.

Rodriguez, a three-time AL MVP, is expected to continue with a similar routine over the next few days before possibly playing in extended spring games Monday and Tuesday in Tampa.
