Hairston was batting in the seventh inning against right-handed reliever Jason Bulger with New York leading, 3-2, and took a ball from the hurler. He tried a practice swing after the pitch and felt something strange and painful.

“It’s just been bothering me the last three weeks or so,” Hairston said. “It felt really weird. I’ve never had that. I felt something pop and I tried to take another swing and felt kind of a sharp pain. Right now, I’m hoping it’s scar tissue or something I can play through.”

Yankees manager Joe Girardi and head trainer Gene Monahan came onto the field and briefly examined Hairston before the three men walked off the field. In the dugout, Monahan sliced a soft tape wrap off of Hairston’s wrist before disappearing down the dugout tunnel.
