New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada could play in an extended spring training game this week.That should get you up to date on all the injured Yankees.
Posada, sidelined since straining his right hamstring while sliding during a May 4 game against Boston, took batting practice, threw and participated in a running program on Monday.
"Maybe Wednesday or Thursday," Posada said after working out at the Yankees' minor league complex. "It's now a matter of getting into baseball shape."Outfielder Xavier Nady (right elbow ligament), catcher Jose Molina (strained left quadriceps) and third baseman Cody Ransom (right quadriceps) worked out with Posada. All three also took part in the running session.
Nady could be the designated hitter during a minor league game in the next couple days, and Molina might be ready by late this week.
Also, left-handed reliever Damaso Marte, out with left shoulder tendinitis, has resumed throwing on level ground.
Right-hander Sergio Mitre, coming back from right elbow ligament replacement surgery, threw four innings in an extended spring training game against Philadelphia minor leaguers.

Nice!
To tell you the truth, I dont miss Posada one bit. I really like Cervelli and everything that hes doing. Calls a great game and get the timely hit.
Cash/Cervelli are calling better games than Posada.
Posada seriously needs to retire.
I assume you're kidding. Cervelli does call a nice game but he isn't nearly the same hitter Posada is.
But lets forget Cervelli for a moment, you would seriously rather have Cash than Posada?
Posada has no room on the yankees anymore. He is a horrible defensive catcher. This team already will have two DH's with Matsui and Nady coming back.
I prefer Cervelli/Cash they are both better defensive catchers.
Oh, so you are saying that you would rather have Matsui or Nady as your DH over Posada?
Please tell me you are kidding.
To tell you the truth, I think I would try to trade Posada at this point. Cervelli is very impressive, and is deffinatly the future for us there, you dont need an all-star at every position. Po is just a huge ? mark now.
