Jeter Sits With Right Leg Injury 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun Aug 4, 2013 2:03 pm

Derek Jeter sat out on Saturday and will also miss Sunday's game between the New York Yankees and San Diego Padres because of a lingering right leg injury.


"He's been battling this leg problem. He's also battling a little calf problem," Joe Girardi said. "I'm going to give him the next two days off, see where we're at on Monday. Hopefully get him back in there on Monday."


Jeter made an awkward half-slide after going from first to third on a single on Friday night. Later in the game, he appeared to hobble back to the dugout after flying out in the third inning, and in the seventh took an awkward step while fielding a potential double-play ball at shortstop.
