The New York Yankees have lost veterans Dave Winfield and Ron Guidry to injuries.

Winfield, 37, who led the Yankees last season with 107 RBIs, said he has back spasms that may require surgery. He said he will not start the season.

To replace Winfield, the Yankees acquired Mel Hall from the Cleveland Indians for catcher Joel Skinner and minor league outfielder Turner Ward.

Guidry, a 38-year-old left-hander, underwent arthroscopic surgery Friday to remove one bone chip from under his elbow. Guidry said he expects to be out for two months.
