Nady Takes BP

It was reporting by Mark Feinsand late last night that Xavier Nady took about 40 swings of batting practice yesterday. He took five rounds of BP, and swung five to eight times per round. After Nady said he felt no pain in his injured right elbow.

"It felt good," Nady said. "I was more hesitant the first couple of swings, but I was swinging the bat good. I'll do this for a couple days, and hopefully by Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I'll be letting it loose out there."

Manager Joe Girardi said it was "realistic" that Nady would head Tampa for a rehab assignment when the Yankees lead town on Sunday.

Slowly but surely everyone is working their way back. We should also find out about Chien-Ming Wang later today.
