H. Matsui taken out

[crimson knuckles]

He has been an ironman for his whole career, which is why he is probably starting to breakdown physically...he is getting up there in years also

[TEAM MVP]

yeah, hes getting injury prone now once the wrist injury took effect. even though im not a yankee fan, i feel bad for him that he yet again has gotten injured.

Per Rotoworld

The Yankees don't anticipate placing Hideki Matsui (hamstring) on the 15-day disabled list, but he is expected to miss about a week.

Godzilla will likely be out until Friday...

On the game ticker during the Sox/Ranger game it read that they put him on the dl.

is matsui going on the 15-day DL? If so, Think it`ll be by tonight? I need to pick up a replacement for him.

Matsui is on Yahoo's DL now. Yikes, this isn't looking good. I've got 4 guy son the DL now (Randy Johnson, Freddy Garcia, Cliff Lee, and now Matsui.) Argh

STATS

Apr 8 Matsui was put on the 15-day disabled list Sunday by the New York Yankees, a day after straining his left hamstring. "When you play baseball this long, these things happen. There's nothing you can do about it," Matsui said through a translator. Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said an MRI exam showed blood near the injury. "It's something we just don't want to play with," Cashman said. "Our experience is that it usually takes 15 days or so."
Advice: After playing in 1,768 consecutive games with the Yomiuri Giants (1,250) and the Yankees (518), Matsui was sidelined from May 11 to Sept. 12 last year with a broken left wrist. New York is short on outfielders. Center fielder Johnny Damon hasn't started since last Monday's opener because of a strained right calf but did enter in the late innings Saturday and Sunday.

is this something thats going to affect the whole year or is he going to be able to get back to 100% ?

Hamstrings are kinda weird. They can linger for a long time or you can get over them quickly. I remember one week in football last year when I kinda pulled my hamstring. It was really cold and that kept it from loosening up, but it was only felt for a couple days.
