BAMAPHIN 22
FinHeaven Elite
The Yankees put Gary Sheffield on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday because of a bruised left hand and called up outfielder Melky Cabrera from Triple-A Columbus.
New York made the move before the start of its three-game series against Boston at Yankee Stadium. Sheffield's transaction was retroactive to May 6.
Sheffield collided with Toronto first baseman Shea Hillenbrand on April 29 and left the game. He missed the next three games, pinch-hit in another and went 0-for-5 against Texas last Friday night.
The right fielder was scratched from Saturday's lineup. On Sunday, Sheffield said he wouldn't play again until his wrist is OK - he was examined Monday by a hand specialist.
The 37-year-old Sheffield is hitting .327 with four home runs and 18 RBIs this season.
