OAKLAND, Calif. -- In addition to getting two hits, driving in two runs, leapfrogging one Hall of Famer on baseball's all-time hits list and pulling even with another, Derek Jeter left Oakland Coliseum with a sore wrist and a bruised shoulder.
Naturally, he is fine and will likely play Sunday as the Yankees attempt to sweep their three-game series with the A's.

The first injury happened in the second inning, when Jeter dived to his left for Jemile Weeks' hot grounder. Jeter speared the ball, which became an infield hit, but saved a run as Kurt Suzuki, on second base, could go no further than third. But in the process, Jeter rolled over on his left wrist and was a little slow in getting up.
"I was a little bit concerned,'' Joe Girardi said. "Those are the ones you worry about. You see outfielders leave for a long time when that happens. But Robby Cano waved us off.''
In the eighth inning, Jeter got plunked in the back of the left shoulder with the bases loaded to force in the Yankees' seventh run. Earlier, his RBI single in the third moved him ahead of Paul Waner for 15th place on the hits parade, and his bunt single in the fifth drew him even with George Brett for 14th place, with 3,154 hits.
Jeter slipped out of the clubhouse without speaking to the media, but not only was he not wearing any sort of bandage on his wrist, he was carrying a pair of shoes in his left hand. So considering his history, it is safe to assume that he will be in the lineup Sunday.

No word yet if Kuroda is hurt or Girardi just pulled him because of his ineffectiveness.

Many guys have trouble recovering after being crushed early, but Kuroda has a great ability to find another way to get guys out.
