Analysis: Matsui celebrated his temporary return to the cleanup spot with his 18th and 19th home runs. Asked if he loves batting fourth, which he's done 15 times this season to Alex Rodriguez's 82, Matsui said through an interpreter: ``I don't hate it.''

May 31 10:50 AM PT11:50 AM MT12:50 PM CT1:50 PM ET6:50 PM GMT2:50 AM 北京时间-Matsui had a season-high three hits, including two doubles, in Saturday night's 10-5 win in Cleveland.

May 28 12:49 PM PT1:49 PM MT2:49 PM CT3:49 PM ET8:49 PM GMT4:49 AM 北京时间-Matsui homered twice and the New York Yankees gained a share of the AL East lead by beating the Texas Rangers 9-2 Wednesday night.
Analysis: Matsui was in a 3 for 23 funk coming into the series, but he went 2 for 3 on Tuesday and then showed some power that has been lacking lately. He now has just seven homers this year and is still hitting .257.
May 15 12:53 PM PT1:53 PM MT2:53 PM CT3:53 PM ET8:53 PM GMT4:53 AM 北京时间-Matsui put New York ahead with a solo homer in the eighth as the Yankees defeated Toronto 3-2 on Thursday.

Analysis: Matsui, who was batting .263 with three homers and 12 RBIs, left Tuesday's game after one at-bat with a tight right hamstring and did not play Wednesday.
May 1 8:08 AM PT9:08 AM MT10:08 AM CT11:08 AM ET4:08 PM GMT12:08 AM 北京时间-Matsui and a two-run double and finished with three RBIs in New York's 8-6 win over the Detroit Tigers on Wednesday night.
Analysis: Matsui, who had a single in Thursday's 7-4 win over the Angels, is batting .395 (15-for-38) with a homer, four doubles and seven RBIs during a 10-game hitting streak.
Apr. 18 5:05 PM PT6:05 PM MT7:05 PM CT8:05 PM ET1:05 AM GMT9:05 AM 北京时间-Matsui's surgically repaired left knee has filled with fluid, causing the banged-up New York Yankees to recall first baseman Juan Miranda from Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.
Analysis: Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Friday that Matsui would be limited to pinch-hitting, possibly for a few more days. Matsui had surgery on the knee Sept. 22, and the Yankees don't expect him to play the outfield until June. "His knees are pretty beat up, and you don't know how they're going to react from day to day. Hopefully, it's just one day for him," Girardi said.
Mar. 18 10:48 AM PT11:48 AM MT12:48 PM CT1:48 PM ET6:48 PM GMT2:48 AM 北京时间-Matsui won't play in the outfield for the New York Yankees until at least interleague road games in June and will be restricted to designated hitter and pinch-hitting appearances until then.
Analysis: Matsui is recovering from left knee surgery last Sept. 22. Yankees manager Joe Girardi doesn't want to take the chance of a setback. Matsui could hit fourth until third baseman Alex Rodriguez returns from right hip surgery. Rodriguez, expected back in May, would return to his normal cleanup position, with Matsui possibly dropping to fifth.
