If you were looking forward to seeing Bobby Abreu (left) face the Phillies on Sunday, today's news from Tampa will be disappointing. Abreu, the former Phillies right fielder, will miss two weeks of spring training after straining his right oblique during batting practice today. The Yankees are hopeful Abreu will be ready for opening day on April 2, but GM Brian Cashman characterized the injury as "significant.""I'll probably say three weeks, but we'll see," Cashman told reporters. "Worst case, it's one of those lengthy ones that gives him too short a period of time to get ready. But it's really premature to be guessing."
The Phillies host the Yankees at Bright House Networks Field on Sunday and on March 17. They'll travel across the bay to Legends Field in Tampa on March 20 and March 26. There's an outside chance Abreu could be ready to play in those games.
