The New York Yankees were already dealing with one injury in their outfield, but now they have a second to add to the list.  Johnny Damon is dealing with a sore left foot which kept him out of the lineup Tuesday.  With Hideki Matsui already nursing a sore left knee, this is awful news for the Yankees especially if Damon needs a trip to the DL. While Matsui has been playing most of the year at DH, Damon’s injury doesn’t give the Yankees many options in the outfield.  Damon is hopeful he just needs a few days rest before getting back in the lineup.  New York has called up Justin Christian to help their depleted outfield, in which he went 2 for 4 in his Major League debut.  There is no word on exactly how bad Damon’s injury is or when Matsui will be back so all the Yankees can do is be patient.  Justin Christian was hitting .309 in Triple-A as well as 18-21 in stolen bases.
