Karstens Walking Wounded

Yankee pitcher Jeff Karstens suffered a non-displaced fracture of the right fibula when Julio Lugo lined his first pitch of Saturday's game off the right-hander's leg.

But this morning, Karstens was walking around the Yankee clubhouse without any cast on his leg. He was walking haltingly, but he had iced the leg and looked amazingly mobile considering the force of the blow and the injury.

Still, he will be out of action for quite a while. He was placed on the DL yesterday. Colter Bean was recalled to take his place.
