KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Jorge Posada would like to play another season, he’s just not sure he’ll have the chance.
The Yankees’ longtime catcher-turned-designated hitter was back in the lineup for Monday night’s game against the Kansas City Royals. Posada had recently lost his job as the regular DH, but he made a spot start Saturday at Tampa Bay and hit a grand slam while driving in six runs.
Manager Joe Girardi planned to start Posada on Sunday, but the game was rained out.
In other news, Girardi said right-hander Freddie Garcia plans to throw a bullpen session Tuesday after slicing his finger in a kitchen mishap. Third baseman Alex Rodriguez had the day off so he could travel to Triple-A Scranton-Wilkes Barre, where he will likely play two games before rejoining the Yankees.
