Some Injury Updates

Chad Jennings just posted some updated on injured Yankees Nick Johnson, Alfredo Aceves, Damaso Marte, Jorge Posada and Francisco Cervelli. Here's a summary:

• Nick Johnson said he was “Stiff and sore right now,” and that he wasn't "going to do anything tomorrow," just "get some treatments and see how it feels.” When asked about Opening Night he said he would be in the lineup, but Joe Girardi felt a little differently, saying, "I’m somewhat concerned about Sunday.” So we'll have to wait and see.

• Alfredo Aceves had a successful day in minor league game. He threw a painless eight-pitch scoreless inning, and also threw off flat ground. “Everything was good. I didn’t feel nothing in my back," said Aceves. Girardi will see how Ace feels tomorrow, but I think he'll be ready to go on Sunday.

• Damaso Marte said he feels "maybe two or three days” will be all the rest he needs for his back.

• According to Jorge Posada, his neck feels "much better."

• Francisco Cervelli had the same thing to say about his mildly strained hamstring. Cervelli, who caught in the bullpen and took BP, also said he could have played today.

So Johnson, Posada, Cervelli, and Aceves all seem like they'll be fine for Sunday night, while Marte might miss a game or two. Not too bad, it could have been much worse.
