Setback for Dotel

Octavio Dotel suffered new pain:

The Yankees said that Dotel has triceps tendinitis - a minor injury - and that he'll be able to throw on Thursday when he reports to Double-A Trenton. Some teammates, however, were a little more concerned because of the way Dotel described his symptoms; tendinitis usually results in a heavy and fatigued feeling and Dotel said that he felt more of a sharp pain.

Dotel said he had not undergone an MRI, though he added that he might ask to have one to put his mind at ease that he didn't have a more serious condition, like a bone spur.

GM Brian Cashman said, "It's definitely a small setback but at the same time he's close (to being ready). It's nothing major."

The Yankees are now looking at an end of the month return for Dotel.
