"Joba Chamberlain's sore left oblique will keep him out of action for at least another day or two, as Yankees team doctors in New York were examining his MRI results to determine the severity of the injury.

"Joba said, functionally, he's fine," Joe Girardi said. "I think they might give him a couple extra days. They just want to go slow and make sure they're doing the right thing."

Chamberlain was scratched from his outing on Sunday, two days after he reported soreness in his side following an appearance in Friday's game. He spent Tuesday morning at Steinbrenner Field receiving treatment."
