NEW YORK (AP) -Hideki Matsui’s surgically repaired left knee has filled with fluid, causing the banged-up New York Yankees to recall first baseman Juan Miranda from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Yankees manager Joe Girardi says Friday that Matsui would be limited to pinch-hitting, possibly for a few more days. Right fielder Xavier Nady already is on the disabled list, and first baseman Mark Teixeira was in the starting lineup despite a sore left wrist that required a cortisone shot a day earlier.
That left New York with a short bench heading into the second game of a four-game series against Cleveland.
Reliever David Robertson, recalled from Scranton a day earlier when Nady went on the DL, was optioned back to the Triple-A team.
