by The current Staten Island Yankee single-season homerun record holder Neil Medchill is out for the remainder of the regular season. The slugging left fielder is expected to see a hand specialist early next week to see if he will be able to play in the playoffs.
Medchill has not played since August 29 against the Tri-City Valley Cats where he was 1 for 2 with a walk and 2 runs scored in the game. With Justin Milo providing solid defense and a good eye at the plate it could mean that Neil will most likely be shut down for the remainder of 2009.
