Rivera unavailable with 'stiffness in his side'
Posada day-to-day with calf strain

The Dominican Prospect League site has some more info on Erik Olivo, who the Yankees signed for $300,000 last week, while Blogging About Baseball has a first-hand report from Jose Ramirez’s. Also, Mike Ashmore has a little Q&A with Austin Romine, and they spoke about calling pitches and improving his plate discipline. And finally, Sean at Pending Pinstripes rounded up how each of the Yanks’ top 30 prospects are doing so far this season.

Walt Ibarra, Francisco Rondon, and Taylor Grote are all on the disabled list with who knows what.
