The Yankees have lost their fastest player after placing outfielder Brett Gardner on the disabled list with a broken thumb.

Gardner got hurt sliding into second base on Saturday against the Athletics.

"We still have four outfielders for three spots where we can spell guys. But Gardy was a part of our club and we're going to be without him for a few weeks," manager Joe Girardi said. "It's possible we could miss him a lot. You can't predict the kind of games you're going to get in."

Gardner remained in the game on Saturday, hitting an RBI triple and making a pair of diving catches with the broken finger.
