Yankees RHP Brian Bruney learned he has no structural damage

Bruney was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Monday, retroactive to May 2, after experiencing elbow discomfort from a throwing session.

"He has a little strain in his muscle, but the ligament is fine," Girardi said after Wednesday night's game. "He'll get a little time off and we'll get back to work with him." [...]
