Posada Sits With Sore Shoulder

First of all, sorry for the lack of posts/game thread today. I'm in the process of moving so today has been pretty hectic... anyway on to some news.

From Kat O'Brien:

Jorge Posada was a late scratch from today's game. He is having some soreness on the front of his right shoulder, which he said popped up during Thursday's game. There's a certain stretch that he does when preparing to hit in games that he doesn't do during practice, and he felt sore after doing that stretch. But he played yesterday and was planning to play today, though the Yankees overruled him after he told them about the soreness.

Both Posada and Joe Girardi stressed that they are not concerned, that bumps in the road are a normal and expected part of the rehab process.

I'm no doctor so I have no idea how serious this is. For now I will take Posada and Girardi's word for it and not be too concerned.
