He left tonight's game?

Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter(notes) departed after seven innings with left ankle soreness and replacement Ramiro Pena(notes) hit an RBI single in the eighth to give New York a 5-3 cushion.

Jeter wasn’t available after the win but Girardi said the captain thought he may have been injured when Gary Sheffield(notes) slid into second during a double play in the Yankees’ 15-0 over the New York Mets on Sunday.

“He said he woke up a little sore yesterday and it was sore to run today,” Girardi said, “and we noticed for the first time when he was running tonight, that he had a little hitch. It seemed to get a little bit worse and worse.”

A spokesman for the team said Jeter wasn’t going to get any tests done and Girardi said he’s day to day.

An MRI on Derek Jeter's ankle Wednesday showed no significant damage.
The Yankees' shortstop wanted to play on Wednesday, but is experiencing soreness and will sit out a game. Ramiro Pena gets the start at shortstop on Wednesday, with Jeter planning to return to action Thursday afternoon.

Doesn't seem like he will be out for long. Hopefully we will see him tomorrow.
