Joba Chamberlain got his first up-close-and-personal experience with the Mariners' Ichiro Suzuki on Friday. After one at-bat and a convincing base hit, color the 22-year-old right-hander impressed. The Yankees will try to keep Ichiro from raising his career .352 batting average at Yankee Stadium on Saturday with Mike Mussina on the hill.

Yankees co-chairman Hank Steinbrenner said on Friday he's unhappy with New York's play so far this season and vowed the team would stick with its plan for reliever Joba Chamberlain.

Chien-Ming Wang became the American League's first six-game winner on Friday, scattering three hits and allowing one run in six innings to help the Yankees post a 5-1 victory over the Mariners at Yankee Stadium and snap their three-game losing streak.

The Yankees announced today they have exceeded 4 million tickets sold for the 2008 season, becoming the first franchise in Major League Baseball history to reach the total in four consecutive years.

Jorge Posada heard the best words he possibly could have on Friday, but it was tempered by an order that he not pick up a bat or throw a ball for at least the next two weeks. A trio of doctors all examined Posada's MRI films and have agreed that the 36-year-old catcher will be able to avoid surgery at least until the end of the season.

With an open spot on their 25-man roster, the Yankees moved on Friday to add an additional reliever to their bullpen, recalling right-hander Jose Veras from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Veras takes the roster spot left open by right-hander Phil Hughes, who was placed on the disabled list on Wednesday with what was eventually diagnosed as a stress fracture in his ninth rib.

Yankees right-hander Phil Hughes visited a Connecticut optometrist on Friday and was found to be "slightly nearsighted," he said, and was issued a prescription for glasses. Hughes could be sidelined until July with a stress fracture in his ninth rib, but when he eventually returns, he'll do so wearing a new pair of specs.
