Jeter's Bruised Finger is Fine

Jeter bruised his right pinky finger before Saturday's game attempting to field a grounder. Then, after bobbling a ball in the second inning, he was taken out of the game.

In the clubhouse after the game he had his pinky wrapped, but said he was fine.

a reporter asked Jeter if he was OK, and he said, "Yes, sir."

Yet Jeter clearly didn't want to address the issue again. As Jeter was leaving the clubhouse, another reporter asked him if the finger felt OK, and he replied, "Yep." The reporter thanked him, and Jeter said, "I didn't even hear what you were saying."

Joe Girardi also said Jeter was fine, "You know how conservative I am," Girardi said. "So if it was something, he wouldn't have played."

"That ball just got by him," Girardi said, "but it didn't crack the nail."

I think it's safe to say Jeter won't miss any time.
