Now out the the DH-less NL, the Yanks made the move expected when Matsui was DL-ed on Friday. Grab Gardner as a flyer on SBs. If he gets on-base and Matsui has surgery, then gardner will be a valuable asset in AL-Only leagues this year.
TheTandD.com | Holly Hill's Brett Gardner called up to New York Yankees:
"Gardner is scheduled to drive from Scranton to New York Monday and be in uniform for the Yankees 7:05 p.m. series opener against the Texas Rangers. The former Holly Hill Academy, St. George Post 105 and College of Charleston standout has been on the radar for a promotion to the big leagues for some time. In 80 games with Triple-A Scranton this season, Gardner was batting .287 with three home runs, 29 RBIs, 34 stolen bases and had a .412 on-base percentage. His play and injuries to New York outfielders Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui opened a door in the Bronx Bombers’ outfield."
