Jorge Posada is Catching CC after an injury to Russell Martin

Every Yankees would know that Jorge Posada’s for the entire 2011 season so far was to be a primary Designated hitter all season. So far this year, He’s been struggling as a DH and recently lost his Designated hitter role to the Yankees Young Top Catcher Jesus Montero . It wasn’t until the bottom of the 3rd inning a game against the Angels that is where Jorge Posada has replaced starting Catcher Russell Martin who left the game with a thumb injury.

Currently, right now Yankees backup Catcher Francisco Cervelli was supposed to be in the original Lineup  for Tonight’s game against the Angel unfortunately was scratch hour before the game with Concussion symptoms after having the collision at homeplate with Nick Markakis of the Orioles and he’s excepting to be sent for Impact test. The Yankees didn’t want to take a chance with Montero from DHing to Catching early in the game. Because if they decide to have Jesus Montero from being a DH to Catcher in middle of the Game the Yankees will basically lose the DH and have CC batting in the game. Having Jorge Posada Catching was the only option that the Yankees have right now. We’ll see what other option the Yankees have for the catching Department for the Next few games with both Russell Martin and Francisco Cervelli probably be out for the next few games.
