New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter injured his right hand Monday and left the game against Detroit in the fifth inning.

Jeter expects to play Tuesday.

"It's no big deal," he said after New York's 4-0 victory over the Tigers.

Jeter jammed the hand in the third inning while sliding into second base, the Yankees said, though Jeter maintained he wasn't sure how he did it. After batting in the fifth, he was taken out for precautionary reasons so that his hand could be iced.

"It's a mild sprain," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "If it was the left hand, I would've left him in."
