Jeter was already due for a light workload in his final series as a big league player, as the Yankees planned to use him as a designated hitter after giving him the night off on Friday. Now it sounds like Jeter might have his season cut short by a game after he tweaked his hamstring beating out an infield single on Saturday.
According to Bob Klapisch, manager Joe Girardi thinks Jeter will be out on Sunday.
Jeter may have tweaked a hamstring beating out infield hit in second at-bat. Girardi says unlikely DJ will play on Sunday.

Jeter disagrees.
Jeter just walked through the clubhouse and said he's playing tomorrow.

What are we worried about here? Re-injury? Do the right thing and get Jeter in that lineup tomorrow.
Check out video of the infield hit below.
