The New York Yankees lose 2-0 to the Toronto Blue Jays and lose Curtis Granderson

The New York Yankees were defeated by the Toronto Blue Jays on Sunday afternoon in Tampa, Florida. They lost 2-0 but lost more then that when Curtis Granderson got hit by a pitch. He broke his forearm and will be out for approximately 10 weeks. The Yankees will look for internal options right now. They have Juan Rivera and Matt Diaz in camp as veterans who could possibly fill in and they have a couple of minor leaguers who are possibilities. The Yankees could also possibly swing a trade for someone like Alfonso Soriano. We will see what happens in the coming days and weeks.
