Yankee stars rehabbing in Tampa

Hennessey, 28, was 4-5 with a 3.42 ERA in 69 games with San Francisco in 2007, but never got untracked this season while going 1- 1 with 23 earned runs and 38 hits allowed in 16 innings.

PIRATES SS WILSON NOT READY FOR REHAB ASSIGNMENT: Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson will remain out of the lineup for at least two more weeks with a strained left calf that has sidelined him for all but three games.

Wilson was expected to begin a rehabilitation assignment at Double-A Altoona last weekend, but the injury flared up again at the team's extended spring training camp in Bradenton, Fla.

Wilson is not yet ready to begin that rehabilitation assignment and, when he does, his extended time off may require him to play as much as a week in the minors. He last played with Pittsburgh on April 3.

Without Wilson, the Pirates have had one of the NL's worst defenses, with 24 of the team's 32 errors committed by infielders.

MARK MULDER HAS ROTATOR CUFF STRAIN: St. Louis Cardinals starter Mark Mulder has a mild rotator cuff strain of his left shoulder, causing St. Louis to stop his injury rehabilitation assignment.

Mulder, coming back from two shoulder operations, was evaluated Wednesday in St. Louis by team physician Dr. George Paletta. The Cardinals plan to rest Mulder for seven-to-10 days before reevaluating him.

Mulder made five starts during his rehab assignment, most recently on Monday for Triple-A Memphis. He is 2-2 with a 6.66 ERA.
