| 7th September, 2008 - 8:20 am | New York Post - Outfielder Hideki Matsui hopes to return to the Yankees next season after he undergoes offseason surgery to repair an injured left knee, according to New York Post.
"He could still play the outfield after the surgery," manager Joe Girardi said of the 34-year-old.
Matsui missed more than two months with an inflamed knee this summer, and has been in the lineup as New York's designated hitter since returning on Aug. 19.
"I would like to play and not just the outfield. I could play some first base as well," said Matsui. "I want to be on the field, not just in the batter's box."
First base could be vacant if the Yankees allow Jason Giambi to sign elsewhere this winter. [READ] |
