Yanks May Have Already Lost Nady for the Season

Yankees' starting right fielder Xavier Nady might be seeing his playing days as a Bomber come to a close before they've barely begun. The team is about to put Nady on the DL since an MRI today on his elbow was "not good" after injuring it in last night's game against Tampa Bay. Even worse, it appears that he'll be on the shelf for the season since it looks like he'll need Tommy John surgery for the second time in his career. He said, "I've been down this road before and I was hoping not to do it again. Surgery wasn't fun years ago. I would prefer not to go down that road again." Nady has only been a Yankee since being acquired just before last year's trade deadline and is up for free agency after this season. With him on the shelf, offseason acquisition (and star of the book Moneyball) Nick Swisher will step in as the everyday starter.
