Yankees slugger
Jason Giambi was out of the starting lineup Wednesday night and went to a hospital for more tests on his bruised right foot.

Giambi was hit by a pitch from Baltimore's
Daniel Cabrera in the second inning of New York's 8-5 win Monday night. The designated hitter stayed in but was lifted for a pinch runner in the eighth after his third walk of the game.
Manager Joe Torre said he was going to start Giambi at first base Tuesday but the foot was still bothering him. X-rays were negative.
"Hopefully, it's just a bruise, because that's what was diagnosed originally," Torre said before the Yankees faced the Orioles on Wednesday night.
The 2000 AL MVP with Oakland, Giambi missed more than two months this season because of torn tissue in his left foot. He began the day batting .243 with 14 homers and 35 RBIs in 74 games.
Doug Mientkiewicz started at first base and
Shelley Duncan was the designated hitter for the finale of the three-game series against Baltimore.
