Trammell scratched from starting lineup, might be headed for restricted list
June 29, 2003
NEW YORK (AP) -- Bubba Trammell was scratched from the New York Yankees' starting lineup Sunday night and was apparently headed to the restricted list because of an unspecified personal problem.
Trammell was supposed to start in left field against the Mets. But before the game, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman received a call from Trammell's agent, Ed Hardison, saying the player would not be at Yankee Stadium.
The Yankees said they planned to make an application to the commissioner's office Monday to put Trammell on the restricted list. He would be ineligible to play while on it.
``He's not here and I don't know any more than that,'' Cashman said.
Cashman said Trammell's situation was not related to a death, but did not provide any other details.
The restricted list is rarely used and players can remain on it for an indefinite period, provided their team ``certifies that unusual circumstances exist,'' according to major league rules.
Trammell was acquired in mid-March in a trade that sent outfielder Rondell White to San Diego. Trammell is batting .200 with no home runs and five RBIs in 55 at-bats.
Trammell had not played in the previous seven games for the Yankees. He had two hits in his last 21 at-bats.
In May, Philadelphia reliever Terry Adams was placed on the restricted list for a few days because of a family situation. Tampa Bay outfield prospect Josh Hamilton also went on the restricted list earlier this season.
During spring training, Yankees minor league pitcher Eddi Lantigua was placed on the restricted list because of an age discrepancy in the Dominican Republic. He was out of action about two months.
Jeez, I hope everything's okay :eek: :(
