"Xavier Nady will try to rehab his elbow injury without surgery, giving the New York Yankees right fielder a chance to return this season. Nady has a partial ligament tear in his right elbow and originally was told that he'd likely need a season-ending operation. But after additional tests and exams, doctors recommended a program of rest and strengthening exercises rather than Tommy John surgery, a procedure Nady had in 2001. "Obviously, I wanted to avoid surgery if possible. You've got to do what's right. I hope going this route ends up working out," he said (Sportsline)."
Every report leading up to this didn't think there was any shot that Nady was going to be able to avoid Tommy John surgery, but now it looks like there is a good amount of hope that he will be back by early June. I know Swisher has been playing well, but I still believe Nady is the much better player. There still has to be some worries about how healthy he will be, and if he will be able to come back at all, but this has to be good news for Yankees fans/fantasy owners who thought they had lost him for the year.
