Yanks' battery drained after Cervelli, Nova hurt
Catcher's hand broken by foul tip; MRI planned for right-hander

NEW YORK -- The Yankees lost their battery early on Friday, with catcher
Francisco Cervelli fracturing his right hand on the fifth pitch of the night
and Ivan Nova leaving his start against the Blue Jays in the third inning
with discomfort in his pitching elbow.
The results of an MRI on Nova's elbow have not yet been released by the
Yankees, but the team announced that Cervelli needs surgery and will miss a
minimum of six weeks after being struck by a foul tip off the bat of Rajai
Davis.
Cervelli will undergo surgery on Saturday at New York-Presbyterian Hospital
under the supervision of hand specialist Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser.
"It's disappointing. I know it's really disappointing for him because of all
that he's been through to get to this point," manager Joe Girardi said.
Nova told the Yankees that he was feeling some stiffness in the second
inning, but he convinced Girardi and pitching coach Larry Rothschild to allow
him to return to the mound in the third.
He hit No. 9 hitter Munenori Kawasaki with a curveball and allowed a single
up the middle to Davis, grimacing after his final pitch.
"He talked about it a little bit after the second inning and said he wanted
to go back out there and try," Girardi said. "We saw the first two hitters in
the third and just decided. We went out there and asked him, and he said he
wasn't OK."
Visited by head athletic trainer Steve Donohue, Nova nodded to acknowledge
the discomfort and rolled the ball in his fingers before handing it to
Girardi.
Girardi believes the pain was above Nova's right elbow in the triceps area;
neither Nova nor Cervelli was available to speak to reporters after the game.
Nova permitted two runs and four hits in two-plus innings and was relieved by
David Phelps, who allowed a run over four innings with nine strikeouts and
could step into Nova's rotation spot.
"My last two outings have both been on his day," Phelps said. "I was at [77]
pitches today. It's not my decision, but if that's what they want me to do, I
think I can do it."
Chris Stewart replaced Cervelli behind the plate, and Austin Romine was
removed mid-inning from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre's game against
Syracuse. Girardi anticipates that Romine will be added to New York's roster
for Saturday's game.
Cervelli had been on a solid run after spending most of last season in the
Minors. He hit his third home run of the year in Thursday's 5-3 win over the
Jays, one shy of his career high, and will hit the disabled list batting .269.
"My heart goes out to him," Girardi said. "It's going to make him stronger,
and it's going to make him better. He's going to have to wait a little while
to play, but we'll get him back."
Girardi was not yet certain how he would split catching duties between
Stewart and Romine.
"I'll just kind of play that by ear every day," he said. "We'll have some day
games, long trips. It seems like when we come home from trips, it's three or
four o'clock in the morning. We'll see how Romine does."
The calamitous evening continued a year-long rash of injuries for the
Yankees, who began the season with stars Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Curtis
Granderson and Mark Teixeira on the disabled list.
The bench was also short one player on Friday because Kevin Youkilis
continues to battle discomfort in his lower back and was not considered to be
available.
Youkilis has not played since April 20, in Toronto. If he is not able to play
on Saturday against Toronto left-hander J.A. Happ, he could become another
candidate for the disabled list.
"Injuries are part of the game, it's part of life," Girardi said. "I'm sure
everyone in here can attest that life doesn't go exactly as we want it
sometimes. But that's part of it."
