Derek Jeter There was no immediate word on the severity of Jeter's injury. He was noticeably hurt as he jogged toward first base during a flyout in the fifth and left the game, stalling his pursuit to become the 28th big leaguer to reach 3,000 career hits.Teammates, fans and even Jeter himself had said it would be nice to achieve the milestone at Yankee Stadium. New York has three games against Texas left on this homestand, then goes on a six-game road trip to Wrigley Field in Chicago, and Cincinnati.
Jeter hit a leadoff single in the first and the Yankees quickly loaded the bases with no outs against Carrasco But Jeter hesitated on Alex Rodriguez's medium-depth fly and stayed at third base center fielder Michael Brantley appeared ready to concede the run — and Carrasco got out of the jam without allowing a run.In a 1-0 loss to the Cleveland Indians, Derek Jeter took another step closer to the magical 3,000 hits mark. In the fifth inning, immediately after making contact Jeter injured his calf. He still made it to first base, netting himself a single, but left the game after reaching the base.Hopefully this injury is not a major, or even minor setback, is his attempt at making history.
