Bombers bits

• Yankees captain Derek Jeter worked out indoors Saturday at the team's training complex in Tampa, Fla. Girardi said that Jeter is "progressing fine" and that "we'll just keep trying to do more each day."

• Left-hander Andy Pettitte is in line to pitch either Tuesday or Wednesday against the D-backs. Pettitte had been scheduled to pitch Sunday, but was scratched due to back spasms. Girardi said that he would check with Pettitte on Saturday to finalize a date for his next start.

• Kevin Youkilis has played in all 10 of the Yankees' games this season. Girardi said that he had been planning on giving Youkilis a day off, but the two rainouts this week in Cleveland took care of the issue.

• On this date in 1978, the Yankees defeated the White Sox, 4-2, on "Reggie!" candy bar day at Yankee Stadium. Reggie Jackson hit a three-run homer in the first inning, and the field was showered with the chocolate and peanut treats, which were given out free to fans attending the game.
