Updates on Matsui, Damon, lineup

I had a chance to visit the Roberto Clemente Museum in Pittsburgh today. Jorge Posada and Jose Molina went earlier this week, and Posada in particular is a huge fan of Clemente and what he stood for. You can read more about Clemente/the museum in my insider tomorrow, but it was an impressive place.

Johnny Damon is in the lineup tonight. He still has pain in the arch of his left foot, but told Joe Girardi he wanted to play and test it.
Hideki Matsui is not in the lineup. He still has knee problems, though said he might be able to DH tomorrow. If he's not able to do so, it sounds like he could be a DL candidate.
The rosters were announced for the Futures All-Star Game and Jesus Montero, the Yankees 18-year-old catcher for Charleston, is the organization's one representative as a player. Tino Martinez is managing the World Team and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre pitching coach Rafael Chaves is a coach for the World Team.
