But that didn't dissuade the Bombers from taking him with the 33rd overall pick, and it hasn't stopped the 18-year-old southpaw from closing in on signing with New York.

An MRI in New York on Sunday morning revealed inflammation, but no tear, manager Joe Girardi said before Sunday's game against the Angels.

He filled in for a couple months when first baseman Mark Teixeira was on the disabled list. When Teixeira returned, Overbay shifted to a spot outfielder, backup first baseman and pinch-hitter. Now, with Teixeira's wrist problems flaring up again, for at least the next couple games, Overbay is penciled back in as the Yankees' everyday first baseman.

They haven't seen a number higher than three on the top half of the scoreline since Tuesday in Oakland. But despite the club's struggles at the plate, manager Joe Girardi is taking a positive approach with his hitters.
