New York Yankees right fielder Bobby Abreu is expected to miss at least two weeks after significantly straining his right oblique during batting practice on Monday.
To some, this may seem like fate is attempting to bring outfielder Bernie Williams back, but GM Brian Cashman and manager Joe Torre claim that is not the case. "It's not an option we're looking at," Cashman said. "Bobby is coming back. The question is when."
The hope is that Abreu will be ready for Opening Day on April 2nd.
Torre said it was too early to announce his opening day starter, but here's the spring training lineup for this week: Chien-Ming Wang is scheduled to start the opener on Thursday against Minnesota and Andy Pettitte will pitch Friday, with Mike Mussina going Saturday and Japanese lefty Kei Igawa scheduled for Monday.
