Any word on if he will need surgery? I'm in a deep league but have guys dropping like flies and if he's out 2-3 months I'd rather just drop him now.

Damn just dropped him

Jul 1 Matsui (knee) is responding well to rest and could begin taking batting practice again in a few days, the New York Times reports.

Recommendation: He may only need the 15-day minimum to get back into the mix as the DH -- if surgery isn't required -- but the Yankees haven't set an official timetable for his return just yet.

i just traded keppinger for him...i am in a very deep keeper leaguue...but with hidekis work ethic i think the risk may be worth it

No set back yet. Looking good to be back ASAP.

do you think there is still a chance he will be back?

Doubt it. Hopefully the other shoe will drop tomorrow. At this point I'd rather hear he's done than another "further word on Friday."

WAIT>>>>
looks like he opted for NO surgery

any other news?

Hideki Matsui took batting practice yesterday (25 swings off a tee w/ a knee brace on).

What are the chances he comes back relatively soon and is productive? He's a FA in a few of my leagues, so I'm curious.

Anybody know anything else, or have an opinion on the matter?

Unless he gets fully healthy, I can't see him being worth much of a pickup. A gimpy knee won't help production, and let's not forget they've added Nady so their isn't such a rush to get him back.
