Posada's Injury May Not Be a Season Ender

From ESPN:

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.

While the early indications point to a return this season for Posada, a complete diagnosis won't be known for a few more days.
Although not definitive, this is good news for the Yankees and their fans. Injury expert Will Carrroll told Peter Abraham that the injury should take 30 days of rest and rehab. That wouldn't be too bad.
