No more Melky way for Yankees

PHILADELPHIA -- The word last night was that Melky Cabrera had a hamstring injury that might be serious and the word this morning starting to leak out of New York City outlets is that it's a full tear. Brett Gardner is almost certainly going to start Game Five tonight and the Yankees may replace Cabrera. The candidates would either be outfielder Freddy Guzman, infielder Ramiro Pena or third catcher Francisco Cervelli.

Let's see if the Yankees go for Cervelli because Jose Molina will start behind the plate tonight with A.J. Burnett pitching. As soon as Burnett comes out -- and they would have to pinch-hit for him early if they're behind -- the Yankees could put Jorge Posada back in and still have a backup catcher.
