Yankees place Betemit on DL

Posted: Sun May 11 12:26 PM

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - The New York Yankees placed infielder Wilson Betemit on the 15-day disabled list Sunday.

Betemit left Saturday's 5-2 win over the Detroit Tigers in the fourth inning with a strained right hamstring.

Betemit, who was activated from the disabled list on Wednesday after missing 17 games with corneal conjunctivitis, slammed an RBI double over the head of centerfielder Curtis Granderson and appeared to pull up after rounding first base.

Morgan Ensberg pinch-ran for Betemit and finished the game at third base.

Betemit is hitting .270 with a home run and two runs batted in through 10 games this season.

To replace Betemit on the roster, the Yankees recalled infielder Alberto Gonzalez from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
