The New York Post reported Sunday that Johnny Damon was spotted working at first base on Saturday and the Yankees center fielder might eventually see some time at the position.

"[Joe Torre] told me to work there and in the [outfield] corners," Damon told the newspaper. "I am going to play [first] eventually. I am OK with it."

The Yankees are down a first baseman with Doug Mientkiewicz headed to the disabled list with a fractured bone in his right wrist.
