Welcome to the Bronx, Mr. Nady. The talented outfielder had gone hitless in seven at-bats over his last two games since joining the club, so Monday's big fly has to help him feel a bit more settled. Look for plenty more nights like this one from the X-Man before the summer is complete.

Xavier Nady is still looking for his first hit as a Yankee. He is 0-for-8 since being traded from Pittsburgh to the Bronx. He left five runners on base in Sunday's 9-2 loss to the Red Sox.Nady should put it together sooner or later but he will miss Pittsburgh. He had been playing well above his head there this year and you should not expect the same amount of production from him in a Yankees uniform. He is still a worthy starter though.

Status: D.L.. Done for season
Joe Strauss of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports that the Cardinals have interest in Xavier Nady. Nady is one of Scott Boras' clients, so while the Cardinals addressed the Matt Holliday situation at length, they also reportedly discussed Nady, who is currently rehabbing from Tommy John surgery. It would be a tough sell in St. Louis if Holliday bolts for the highest bidder, but Nady could be a low-cost alternative.
