重點: Farnsworth應該不會進DL 06/22/2008 6:33 PM ET Farnsworth exits after injuring hand Yanks reliever gets three stitches, doesn't expect to go on DL By Willie Bans / MLB.com http://0rz.tw/f84mt NEW YORK -- What a tough inning for Kyle Farnsworth on Sunday. The Yankees right-handed reliever entered the game in the eighth inning and got the first two Reds hitters out, then gave up a solo home run to Ken Griffey Jr. The next batter, Brandon Phillips, hit a grounder toward the mound, and Farnsworth tried to snatch it with his right hand. The ball deflected off his hand, and Phillips reached first base on Alex Rodriguez's throwing error. Farnsworth was taken out of the game, and later received three stitches in the webbing between his pinky and ring fingers. He doesn't anticipate going on the disabled list, as he suffered the same injury earlier in his career. At that time, Farnsworth received four stitches, taped the fingers together and didn't miss an outing. On Sunday, Farnsworth said reaching for the ball was instinctive. "If you have time to think about it, you don't do it," he said. Manager Joe Girardi said he will monitor the swelling leading up to Tuesday's series opener in Pittsburgh. But seeing pitchers reach for grounders isn't something he'll get used to. "That's always a little bit scary," Girardi said. "A lot of times, probably more than 50 percent, when it hits, it doesn't work out real well for them." Willie Bans is an associate reporter for MLB.com.
