New York Yankees reliever Ron Marinaccio exits with lingering shin injuryThe Yankees' bullpen, which has been hit by a barrage of injuries as of late, suffered yet another setback Sunday afternoon, when Ron Marinaccio walked off the field in the seventh inning of their 3-1 loss to the Orioles with a shin injury that has bothered him all season.
"The shin thing's kind of just been a lingering issue I've been dealing with all year," Marinaccio said. "So it was just a little bit more fired up. I don't know if it was not bouncing back from last outing, I just didn't bounce back as well, but it was just a little hotter today."
Marinaccio is scheduled to have an MRI, with manager Aaron Boone saying the team will wait until the results Monday to make a decision on the right-hander's availability for the rest of the season. Marinaccio had an MRI on the injury earlier this season, but testing came back negative.
