Peter Abraham:
Yankees left fielder Johnny Damon could hit off a tee on Friday and hopes to rejoin the team by late next week.
Damon is on the 15-day disabled list with an injured left shoulder, which was hurt when the outfielder ran into the fence attempting to catch a ball on July 4. He underwent treatment only Wednesday at the Yankees’ minor league complex.
“Friday could be a big day,” Damon said. “It feels a lot better today. It feels much better not doing the drills.”
Damon, who is hitting .319, is on the DL for the first time in his career. He was first scheduled to hit off a tee Monday, but that was moved back because of shoulder soreness.
With the bad news the Yankees got yesterday with Matsui's knee swelling up, this is good to hear. If they can get Damon back that would be a huge boost for this offense, but you all know that.
