Mientkiewicz slightly injured, will play

From Peter Abraham:

Doug Mientkiewicz got off the team bus and was walking to the clubhouse when a camerman from YES stumbled and fell onto the back of his left leg.

“I rolled it pretty good,” he said. “I thought I was dead.”

His ankle has some swelling but Mientkiewicz did some agility drills before the game (see previous post) and was cleared to play. He will be in the lineup as scheduled. (LoHud Yankees Blog)

Fire this man.
