Rivera and Giambi Taking Medical Tests - New York Times

Rivera and Giambi Taking Medical Tests - New York Times: "Rivera has experienced inflammation in his right elbow and will have a precautionary M.R.I. on the elbow soon, perhaps today."

I've heard "Wolf!" cried so many times, I am now calloused towards this type of announcement.

However, Scott Proctor's blown save last night combined with Kyle Farnsworth's back and tonight's trade deadline must have every Yankees fan worried - and every Yankees hater giddy.

The rational path for the Yankees would be the use a commitee for the last month in order to let Mo rest. Say pitch him every three days and use match-ups to dictate saves on the other two.

However, this is Joe Torre so I would not be surprised to see Mo pitch three consecutive days with one being a non-save appearance.
