•  The Yankees have been carrying a 13-man pitching staff since April 9, and Girardi said that there have not been discussions about reducing that number yet.

"That's a great question," Girardi said. "We have not talked about making any changes, but that doesn't mean that we won't."

The Yankees could stay at 13 pitchers until Teixeira is eligible to be activated in a week. Right-hander Shane Greene was called up from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre on April 9, but has not yet appeared in a game.

•  On this date in 1978, the Yankees defeated the White Sox, 4-2, on "Reggie!" Candy Bar Day. 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 entering the game.
