Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Francisco Cervelli D.L. Francisco Cervelli (hand) has played catch and caught a few bullpens, but it's unclear when he'll be allowed to begin swinging a bat. "He’s just trying to get his hand stronger so he can do everything," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said. Girardi added that he's not sure whether Cervelli will be ready to return before the All-Star break. Jun 14
	2	Chris Stewart
	3	Austin Romine
1B	1	Mark Teixeira Sidelined Yankees GM Brian Cashman said Monday that he is "leaning personally" toward placing first baseman Mark Teixeira (wrist) on the 15-day disabled list. But nothing has been made official yet. Teixeira underwent an MRI this weekend in New York that showed only inflammation (and no new structural damage) in his troublesome right wrist, but he is having trouble swinging the bat with confidence and might be better off with a few more weeks of rest and rehab. Teixeira is hitting .151/.270/.340 in 15 games since his activation. Jun 17
	2	Lyle Overbay
2B	1	Robinson Cano
SS	1	Derek Jeter D.L. Derek Jeter (ankle) participated in hitting and fielding drills Friday at the Yankees' spring training complex. Jeter hit off a tee and took swings in an indoor cage before resuming light infield work. It was the first time he has done any baseball activities since mid-April. Assuming he avoids setbacks, Jeter could be ready to rejoin the Yankees' lineup in about six weeks. Jun 15
	2	Eduardo Nunez D.L. Eduardo Nunez (oblique) has resumed baseball activities. Nunez, on the DL since May 6, took indoor batting practice and fielded grounders at the Yankees' spring training complex. It's still not clear when he'll be sent on a rehab assignment, but he remains on track to be activated from the disabled list in early July. Jun 15
	3	Jayson Nix
	4	Reid Brignac
3B	1	Alex Rodriguez D.L. Alex Rodriguez (hip) is scheduled to face live pitching for the first time this year on Tuesday in Tampa. A-Rod is finally beginning to take major strides in his recovery from January hip surgery. He ran the bases at 75 percent effort over the weekend and is now ready to begin working on his timing at the plate. The veteran third baseman will be activated from the disabled list shortly after the All-Star break if everything continues to go according to plan with his rehab. Jun 17
	2	Kevin Youkilis D.L. Yankees placed 3B Kevin Youkilis on the 15-day disabled list with a lumbar spine sprain. No word yet on how long he may be sidelined, but since it's a recurring issue, it may be longer than 15 days. It's the same ailment that landed Youkilis on the disabled list at the end of April. He managed to hit just.146/.239/.220 with one RBI and 13 strikeouts in 41 at-bats after returning from the disabled list on May 31. Jun 14
LF	1	Curtis Granderson D.L. Curtis Granderson will have the pin removed from his fractured left pinkie finger this Thursday. Granderson should then be cleared for light workouts. The outfielder has been on the disabled list (and mostly idle) since May 25 and is not expected to be ready to rejoin the Yankees until after the All-Star break. Jun 17

CF	1	Brett Gardner
RF	1	Ichiro Suzuki

Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	CC Sabathia
	2	Hiroki Kuroda
	3	Andy Pettitte
	4	Phil Hughes
	5	David Phelps
	6	Michael Pineda D.L. Michael Pineda (shoulder) will make his next rehab start on Thursday for the High-A Tampa Yankees. Pineda will try to get past 80 pitches in this one. He has looked sharp so far on the farm and is on track to join the Yankees' starting rotation around the end of this month. Get him stashed in fantasy leagues. Jun 17
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Mariano Rivera
	2	David Robertson
	3	Boone Logan
	4	Joba Chamberlain
	5	Shawn Kelley
