Baseball: Yanks' Matsui expected to make spring debut

Associated Press

TAMPA, Fla. — Yankees left fielder and designated hitter Hideki Matsui, coming off right knee surgery last November, is scheduled to make his spring training debut tomorrow.

Matsui, who also missed three days of batting practice after experiencing neck stiffness last Saturday, is on the travel list for the game Sunday against Minnesota.

"I'm ready," Matsui said Saturday. "I'm good."

Matsui likely will be limited to DH duties for a few games before playing in the field.
