The Yankees' Gary Sheffield has returned to the DL after just nine days away from it, thanks to the wrist injury caused by his collission with Toronto's Shea Hillenbrand. Sheffield was replaced by Kevin Thompson, who had been hitting .288 in Triple A.
Meanwhile, All-Star closer Mariano Rivera felt back spasms as he dressed before the game against Detroit yesterday; Kyle Farnsworth acted as closer in that game and gave up two runs - and the lead - to the Detroit Tigers.
Johnny Damon was back in the lineup for the first time since Tuesday.
