AL Notes: Matsui may DH for Yankees today

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BALTIMORE -- Yankees outfielder Hideki Matsui, who has missed 110 games with a fractured left wrist, is to be activated today and may start at designated hitter when New York opens a three-game series at home against Tampa Bay.

Matsui, on the disabled list since May 12, played four postseason games at DH for New York's Double-A Trenton affiliate, going 3-for-11. He joined the Yankees on Sunday.

"The results were fine," Yankees manager Joe Torre said. "It certainly helps us to have a player of his caliber back with us."

LIRIANO ACTIVATED: Francisco Liriano was activated from the disabled list Monday night, two days before the rookie left-hander was scheduled to make his next start for the Twins.

Liriano threw three hitless innings Saturday in a rehabilitation outing for Triple-A Rochester during the International League playoffs. He is scheduled to pitch for Minnesota on Wednesday against Oakland.

SHORT HOPS: Yankees closer Mariano Rivera will take an extra day of rest before testing his ailing pitching arm. Rivera has been sidelined since Aug. 31 with a muscle strain near his right elbow. ... Angels reliever Brendan Donnelly dropped his appeal of a four-game suspension for hitting Texas' Freddy Guzman with a pitch and began serving the penalty Monday night. ... Blue Jays RHP Roy Halladay, knocked out of Sunday's game against the Angels in the first inning when Garret Anderson lined a single off his pitching elbow, will play catch today and throw on the side Wednesday. The 2003 AL Cy Young winner had X-rays that showed no structural damage, just a bruise and some residual swelling.
