TORONTO (AP) -New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was scratched from Tuesday night’s lineup because of sore right oblique, and was listed as day to day.
Manager Joe Girardi said he was hopeful Jeter would be able to play Wednesday night against Toronto.
The injury began bothering Jeter over the weekend in Baltimore, but he played in all three games, going 2 for 4 in Sunday’s 5-3 victory. The Yankees were off Monday.
Ramiro Pena took Jeter’s spot in the lineup and was batting ninth.
“He’s not quite there, we’ll go day to day,” Girardi said. “He played with it in Baltimore, we just feel maybe 72 hours will be a lot more beneficial.”
