New York Yankees catcher Jorge Posada will miss at least the next month with a broken foot.
He was hoping that the injury was just a bone bruise but was still having trouble walking days later.
The catcher maintains he will return to the lineup much sooner than the projected month he is expected to miss.
Posada got off to a scorching hot start this year despite some concern over his age and when he will start to decline.
Francisco Cervelli, who has been hitting very well himself, will start in Posada’s absence.

New York Yankees outfielder Curtis Granderson will miss time with a strained left groin muscle.
The speedy outfielder was hurt as he rounded second base over the weekend, pulling up with a heavy limp.
He was able to limp his way to third base safely, but then was quickly removed from the game.
The Yankees have placed him on the 15-day disabled list and don’t expect him back for a month or more.
The injury means that veteran Randy Winn will likely see a significant increase in playing time.
