News: Yankees recalled right-handed pitcher Humberto Sanchez from Double-A Trenton and catcher Francisco Cervelli from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on Monday.

Analysis: Cervelli broke his wrist on a collision at the plate in a spring training game against the Rays. He might not see much major-league action this month, but he'll probably play winter ball, Joe Girardi said. Ignore him in Fantasy

George A. King III, of the New York Post, reports New York Yankees 1B Nick Swisher will be the team's first baseman next season, as of now, according to general manager Brian Cashman. "Right now, he is our first baseman," Cashman said.

FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports some members of the Chicago White Sox said that New York Yankees 1B Nick Swisher acted selfishly at times, particularly when he was not hitting. Some with the Yankees believe Swisher clashed with manager Ozzie Guillen.

Does this take the Yankees out of the running for Mark Teixeira? Possibly. If so, it can be viewed in nothing but a positive light by the Angels, who might have just seen their chances of retaining Teixeira improve dramatically.

News: Yankees 2B Robinson Cano said he will spend a month playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic to prepare for next season, starting Friday. He also said he plans to represent the Dominican Republic in the World Baseball Classic.

Analysis: Cano could be due for a rebound season. We rank him among the top 10 second basemen in Fantasy, but he certainly has the talent to produce among the top five when he is going well. A streaky hitter, he should show more consistency in the future, perhaps 2009 is his year for a big breakthrough

Tom Singer, of MLB.com, reports New York Yankees 2B Robinson Cano is on board to play in the 2009 World Baseball Classic with the Dominican Republic.

According to the New York Post, "there continues to be buzz about Robinson Cano going to the Dodgers, with Russell Martin or Matt Kemp being players of interest for the Yankees." Of course, the newspapers adds: "Yankee officials say it is much more likely Cano will remain their second baseman next year."Source: New York Post Related: Russell Martin, Matt Kemp, Dodgers

Alex Rodriguez was awarded his 10th Silver Slugger award on Thursday, according to the Associated Press.A-Rod was a solid fantasy option again in 2008. He should remain just as valuable to fantasy owners in 2009 after coming off his 11th straight season of 35+ home runs and 100+ RBI.

Alex Rodriguez was awarded his 10th Silver Slugger award on Thursday, according to the Associated Press.A-Rod was a solid fantasy option again in 2008. He should remain just as valuable to fantasy owners in 2009.

ESPNews reports New York Yankees SS Derek Jeter and 3B Alex Rodriguez both won American League Silver Slugger Awards for the 2008 season.

Major League Baseball owners approved Hal Steinbrenner as control person of the Yankees. Control person? That's such an odd term, but the Yankees apparently needed to come up with something with George still technically listed as the chairman. Hal Steinbrenner, the co-chairman of the team along with his older brother, Hank, will now be the official liaison between the Commissioner's Office and the team.

Derek Jeter won his third straight Silver Slugger on Thursday, according to the Associated Press.Jeter's offensive game has fallen off a bit as he's getting on in age. 2008 was the first time in his career that he failed to score 100 runs in a season in which he played at least 148 games.

Derek Jeter won his third straight Silver Slugger on Thursday, according to the Associated Press.Although Jeter's game has fallen off a bit, he remained a decent fantasy player in 2008.

News: The New York Journal News reports that Derek Jeter is likely to miss the last two games of the regular season after having to leave Friday's game with a sore left hand after just two at-bats. Manager Joe Girardi ruled Jeter out for Saturday's game and Jeter did not "sound optimistic" about playing on Sunday. Cody Ransom will fill in for him.

Analysis: Ransom did a great job of filling in for Jeter on Friday. He went 3-for-3 with a home run, three runs scored and two RBI and upped his average to .297. Consider him a decent replacement option in daily leagues for the final two games of the season

New York Yankees IF Cody Ransom went 3-for-3 Friday, Sept. 26, against the Boston Red Sox, with two home runs and three runs scored, according to The Associated Press.

Quite an evening for Ransom, who entered the game with just two homers and six RBIs in 30 games with the Yankees. Don't bank on another explosive night from the 32-year-old journeyman anytime soon, as he's mustered up just seven total dingers in 164 career big league contests.

News: The Yanks want to add a first baseman more than an outfielder, according to the N.Y. Post. GM Brian Cashman imagines among Melky Cabrera, Brett Gardner and Johnny Damon, center field can be covered if nothing arises this offseason that makes sense. Cashman told the paper he prefers Damon "as our left fielder and leadoff hitter." This makes it likely Xavier Nady will be in right field and Hideki Matsui will be the DH.

Analysis: Damon, Nady and Matsui are worth owning in all leagues (in that order) next season. Gardner is a Rotisserie sleeper for his 30-plus steals potential, while Cabrera is mostly an AL-only option

Despite losing much of his defensive range, Damon turned in his finest all-around offensive season since joining the Yankees. He'll be motivated to carry that momentum into 2009, his walk year. Keep in mind, though, that he turns 35 in November.

Damon's been typically solid this month, lacing six long balls with 14 RBIs and 15 runs scored in 84 at-bats. The veteran outfielder has topped 15 homers, 80 RBIs and 90 runs in three of the past five years, and looks poised to post a .300-plus average for the fifth time in his career.

Hideki Matsui is ahead of schedule in his recovery from knee surgery and he is running in place, according to MLB.com. head trainer Gene Monahan noted that Matsui "looks great."Matsui is expected to be ready for the start of spring training.

Bryan Hoch, of MLB.com, reports New York Yankees OF Hideki Matsui (knee) is said to be ahead of schedule in his rehab program and has been running in place, according to head trainer Gene Monahan.

CBSSports.com reports the New York Yankees activated OF Hideki Matsui (knee) from the 60-day disabled list Sunday, Nov. 16.

Melky Cabrera and Brett Gardner would be the Yankees' center fielders if the new season started right now, but manager Joe Girardi commented that the team has been discussing bringing in outside help in meetings, according to MLB.com. Girardi said, "Some of it may depend on who we sign first, and do we decide from a financial standpoint, do we bring in an outside center fielder? But we have had internal discussions about other people."As for options, the Yankees have previously been linked to slugger Mike Cameron in talks.

Joel Sherman and George A. King III, of the New York Post, report first base appears to be a more glaring need for the New York Yankees than outfield, according to general manager Brian Cashman. Cashman seems content with OFs Melky Cabrera, Brett Gardner and Johnny Damon if nothing arises in the offseason. Cashman also indicated that he prefers Damon as the left fielder and leadoff hitter.

The Associated Press reports the New York Yankees have received calls from other teams about center fielders Melky Cabrera, Brett Gardner and Austin Jackson.
