| NEW YORK -- Orlando Hernandez, who had been scheduled to
start for the New York Yankees against Boston on Saturday, didn't
pitch because of tightness in his upper back.
Hernandez, who has lost four straight decisions following a 4-0
start, experienced the tightness while warming up in the bullpen
before the game.
Jason Grimsley replaced Hernandez and made his second start of
the season. The Yankees beat Boston 8-3.
Hernandez is not expected to miss his next scheduled start.
Yankees second baseman Chuck Knoblauch was scratched for the
second straight game because of a strained left forearm, an injury
sustained last Sunday at Cleveland.
