Johnson May Sit Next Start
New York Yankee left-hander Randy Johnson had an MRI exam that showed inflammation of the lumbar spine and will be re-evaluated today.
If the Big Unit can’t make his next turn, the Yankees will need to find a starter for Thursday night against Texas.
Manager Joe Torre said it would not be Hideo Nomo, who made his second start last Saturday with triple-A Columbus and would be on full rest Thursday.

The Boston Red Sox recalled third baseman Kevin Youkilis from triple-A Pawtucket and designated outfielder Jose Cruz Jr. for assignment.
Cruz was acquired 10 days earlier in a trade with the Arizona Diamondbacks and went three for 12 with no homers and no RBIs in four games.
