NEW YORK -- Shortstop Derek Jeter of the New York Yankees sat out a second consecutive game Tuesday night against the Boston Red Sox because of a bruised right thumb.
Jeter, third in the AL with a .344 average, was injured Sunday when he was hit by a pitch in Baltimore by Rodrigo Lopez. He had five hits in his last 11 at-bats before he was hit by Lopez.
"It's better," manager Joe Torre said. "Obviously, it's not good enough to play. When I said he'd be out a couple of days, it was something of a guess."
With Jeter hurt, Miguel Cairo started at shortstop Tuesday night and the Yankees purchased the contract of infielder Nick Green from their Triple-A Columbus affiliate. To make room for Green, the Yankees designated outfielder Terrence Long for assignment.
