LAKELAND, Fla. -- Joe Torre entered the spring with seven starters fighting for five spots. When camp breaks at the end of next week, he'll be happy to have four healthy arms to open the season.
Jaret Wright was the latest pitcher to go down, as he suffered back spasms while participating in pitcher's fielding practice drills. Wright's back locked up as he tried to field a bunt down the third-base line on Sunday, sending him to the trainer's room.
Wright has been in competition with Chien-Ming Wang and Shawn Chacon for the final two starting spots in the rotation, though the Yankees will need just four starters for the first two weeks of the season.

I don't know whether to be happy about this or sad.
