Morning Bits: Gardner, Sabathia, Teixeira, Rodriguez

Good morning everyone and Happy Sunday. We all have to admit, yesterday’s game was a little–odd. Well, CC Sabathia takes the mound for the Yankees in the series finale . Let’s get onto the Morning Bits!

—  Brett Gardner saw the doctor yesterday to see if he could start swinging again. If Gardner gets cleared, he expects to be back late next week

— CC Sabathia takes the mound for the game this afternoon. Did you know Sabathia is 21-7 with a 3.08 ERA in daytime games since 2009 as well as 4-1 with a 2.33 ERA vs. the Reds?

— After waiting a month and a half, Mark Teixeira finally took 2 days off vs. the Reds series, but knowing that his bronchitis won’t go away in that lapse of time, Teixeira might sit the whole series out.

— The New York Daily News writes that Alex Rodriguez & Mark Teixeira just might turn into the faces of bad contracts for the New York Yankees.
