News and Notes

May 12
Jeter was scheduled to bat cleanup in New York's rained-out match up with Detroit on Sunday, according to the New York Daily News. Recommendation: The shortstop had only batted in the four-spot once in his career, and that was in 1999. The move was likely a situational one, with the Yankees being without Alex Rodriguez (hamstring), rather than a permanent move or experiment. |

SS Derek Jeter would have batted cleanup for just the second time in his career had Sunday's game not been rained out. Manager Joe Girardi wanted to give Hideki Matsui, who'd been batting fourth, a day off and penciled in the right-handed hitting Jeter between lefties Bobby Abreu and Jason Giambi. "It's a little different," Girardi told reporters. "You hate being in situations where you stack your lefties and they have left-handed relievers." |

Jeter homered for the first time this season, and the visiting Yankees ended a six-game losing streak to Detroit with a 5-2 victory on Saturday. Advice: Jeter hit a solo shot in the first inning off Jeremy Bonderman, ending his career-long drought of 128 at-bats without a homer to start a season. He has hit .419 (13-for-31) with a homer and four RBIs in his last seven games, and is batting .308 with a homer and 18 RBIs overall. |
