Nick Swisher is hitting just .103 in the postseason, which may force the Yankees to take him out of the lineup. Yankees manager Joe Girardi acknowledged Friday that Swisher may not be in the starting lineup for Game 6. "We'll sleep on it and we'll make a decision what we're going to do," Girardi told the Los Angeles Times. "Obviously he has struggled. But Swisher is a good player and Swisher has done a lot of good things for us this year." Swisher popped up a 3-2 pitch from Angels closer Brian Fuentes with the bases loaded for the last out in a 7-6 loss in Game 5 that forced the ALCS back to New York with the Yankees still one win away from the World Series. Brett Gardner would likely take Swisher's place in the lineup. |
