NEW YORK -- Add starting pitcher Andy Pettitte to the long list of All-Stars on the New York Yankees disabled list. Pettitte was placed on the 15-day DL Friday because of a strained left trapezius muscle in his upper back. He expects to return as soon as he is eligible. "We dont think its overly serious but we want to pay it safe," general manager Brian Cashman said. "I didnt expect him to give us 200 innings this year, regardless." Vidal Nuno is being recalled from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and will move into a rotation already missing Ivan Nova. Pettitte is the 13th Yankees player to serve a stint on the DL and the 11th currently sidelined. He joins shortstops Derek Jeter and Eduardo Nunez, first baseman Mark Teixeira, third basemen Alex Rodriguez and Kevin Youkilis, catcher Francisco Cervelli and starting pitchers Ivan Nova and Michael Pineda, and reliever Joba Chamberlain and Cesar Cabral on the sidelines. Curtis Granderson returned this week from a broken forearm, and right-hander Phil Hughes also missed time last month. Despite all the injuries and roster shuffling -- the Yankees have used 35 players this year -- New York began Friday in first place in the AL East at 25-16. The left-handed Pettitte, who will turn 41 next month, was trying for his 250th win Thursday when the muscle began to spasm. He left the game against Seattle with two outs in the fifth inning. Pettitte (4-3), who missed a start in April because of lower back problems, understood the move but still wasnt happy. "Anytime you got to go on the DL its disappointing," Pettitte said. "It spasmed up so bad last night that I think Im sore from that. ... But I feel good." Cashman couldnt justify keeping Pettitte on the active roster, even if the pitcher was going to miss just one start. The Yankees are in a stretch where they are playing 17 games in 16 days. A CC Sabathia start was cut short by a rain delay, and Hughes lasted just two outs Wednesday. "Given his age, given the time of year, he wouldnt start in five days. Im not in the position to carry an extra player and hope its resolved," Cashman said. Nuno pitched five innings of three-hit ball to win his first major league start on Monday, in the second game of a doubleheader in Cleveland. In a bit of positive news, the Yankees did not place catcher Chris Stewart on the DL after he hurt his groin Thursday night. An MRI was negative, and Stewart said he was feeling much better. He will be used as Austin Romines backup for the next few games. "Walkings fine. Its just running when I push off its still there a little bit so give it a couple of days," Stewart said. Cashman said Youkilis took batting practice with a coach pitching at the Yankees complex in Tampa, Fla. Youkilis has been out with a back injury since April 28, but there is no timetable for his return. Youkilis also fielded 26 grounders at third base and ran from first to third and back three times on the grass just behind the infield dirt. Joba Chamberlain (right oblique strain) played long toss at Yankee Stadium and is lined up for a bullpen session Sunday. After that, New York will decide whether he is going to have another bullpen session or go out for a rehab appearance, Cashman said. NOTES: Teixeira (wrist), who is working out in Tampa said he expects to soon start playing in extended spring training games. ... Rodriguez (hip surgery) played catch for 7 minutes at up to around 120 feet, and had an extensive tee and soft toss hitting session in a batting cage. Ozzie Newsome Jersey .

They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display.PHILADELPHIA - Chad Tracy provided a surge in the Washington dugout, though the good feelings were short-lived. After Tracys homer with two outs in the top of the ninth inning tied the game, Domonic Brown hit an RBI single with two outs in the bottom of the ninth and the Philadelphia Phillies beat the Nationals 5-4 on Monday night. The Nationals tied it at 4 when Tracy hit a solo homer off closer Jonathan Papelbon (1-0). It was the first blown save for Papelbon, who had converted his previous 13 chances. "Everybody was feeling good and emotions were high," Tracy said. "Personally it was good for me, but nobodys happy right now. A loss is a loss." Papelbon easily retired the first two batters in the ninth and had Tracy in an 0-2 hole. But Tracy, who pinch-hit in the seventh and stayed in the game, hit his third home run, barely clearing the wall just inside the foul pole in right. "He was trying to be short," Tracy said. "I fought off two pitches and finally hit one." But Ben Revere led off the Phillies ninth with a single against Fernando Abad (0-2). Revere was running on Jimmy Rollins one-out single and easily reached third base. Abad struck out pinch-hitter Steven Lerud for the second out before Brown fisted the winning hit to centre. Papelbon was the first player to greet Brown in celebration as he was rounding first base. "I was trying to stay as short and quick as I can, especially with a tough lefty like Abad," Brown said after his first walkoff hit. "It feels great. Its an unbelievable feeling. Its priceless." "Hes been great for us," Brown, speaking about Papelbon, added. "I told him were going to fight for him and we ended up coming up with the win." Ryan Howard went 3 for 3 with a homer and two RBIs and Delmon Young had a two-run double for the Phillies, who returned home after losing seven games on a 10-game road trip. "Were trying to get some games on the Nats," Brown said. "It feels good to get a win, especially after a long road trip." John Lannan, a former mainstay in the Nationals rotation, made his first start since April 17 after a nearly two-month stint on the disabled list with a strained tendon in his left knee. He allowed six hits and two runs in five innings, striking out four and walking one in his first start against his former club. "I felt like he did a pretty good job for his first time back," Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. "The 92 pitches were a little deeper than I thoughht that he would go in the game.dddddddddddd He did alright. His five innings were big." Said Lannan, "Just getting back in the swing of things. It felt awesome. Its been a lot of time and a lot of hard work. Im happy to be back." Lannan said he approached Mondays start like he would any other in spite of pitching against the team that drafted him in 2005. "I knew I had to do a job no matter who I was facing," said Lannan, who made 134 career start, including two on Opening Day, for Washington. "No extra emotion." Steve Lombardozzi had two hits, including an RBI double, for the Nationals, who have lost three of four. "It was a tough loss after a good comeback," Washington manager Davey Johnson said. Howard led off the second with a solo shot to tie it at 1. It was the eighth homer of the season for Howard, who had been mired in a power slump. The slugger entered with just one homer since May 7, but launched Dan Harens offering into the second deck deep in right field. "Ive been trying to put together some good at-bats and let the power come when it comes," Howard said. Haren continued his recent struggles and remained winless in his last seven starts (0-5, 6.22 ERA) since May 9. Haren is 0-3 with a 5.82 ERA in six career starts against Philadelphia. "He pitched good in spots," Johnson said. "He left some balls over the plate but finished strong. We have faith in him. Hell be fine." Philadelphia went ahead 3-1 in the third on Youngs two-run double to right that just eluded the glove of a diving Jayson Werth. Washington pulled within 3-2 in the fourth on Lombardozzis RBI double and Howards fifth-inning RBI single put the Phillies back up by two runs. Ian Desmonds RBI single off Mike Adams in the eighth inning brought Washington within 4-3. NOTES: Nationals OF Bryce Harper was cleared to begin strength work on his injured left knee. He hurt himself crashing into the wall at Dodger Stadium on May 13. ... The Nationals hope to have CF Denard Span back on Tuesday.
