Yankees' Granderson suffers broken arm | Baseball
In his first at-bat of spring training, Curtis Granderson broke his arm when he hit by a pitch from Toronto's J.A. Happ on Sunday.
TAMPA, Fla. — Curtis Granderson jogged to first base after being hit on his right forearm as if it was a minor annoyance. Back at the ballpark in a brace a couple of hours later, it was clear the New York Yankees had a pretty big power problem on their hands.
In his first at-bat of spring training, the slugger broke his arm when he hit by a pitch from Toronto's J.A. Happ on Sunday. Granderson, who hit a team-high 43 home runs last year, could be out 10 weeks and miss about a month of the regular season.
The Yankees, who were beat 2-0 by a Blue Jays' split squad, first called it a bruise but X-rays revealed the break.
Notes
• Alex Rodriguez's cousin will auction the 14-carat 2009 World Series ring that the Yankees third baseman gave him. It's expected to sell for about $30,000.
• Mets reliever Pedro Feliciano will be restricted from baseball activity for at least two weeks while wearing a heart monitor. The left-hander said Saturday that he has a "hole" in his heart.
• Zack Greinke, pitching for the first time since signing a $147 million, six-year contract with the Dodgers, retired of six of seven batters against the White Sox.
• Daisuke Matsuzaka, nearly two years removed from Tommy John elbow surgery, pitched two hitless innings for Cleveland against Cincinnati.
