Doesn't Look Good For De Aza

Tough luck for the young centerfielder, as it looks like he has suffered yet another ankle injury that might derail his attempt at landing the job fulltime. The injury occurred as he was trying to catch a fly ball against the Yankees earlier this weekend. Now it appears Cody Ross will take the starting nod at least until De Aza is healed.

It also opens a door for Cameron Maybin, who had recently been sent back to the minors to work out the kinks in his game. A solid month in AAA and he might just convince the front office that he is ready to for action in the majors again. Seeing as how he is the future of the position and Cody Ross is a marginal player at best, I would assume that Maybin has every opportunity to get in there and show what he's got.
