Jeter in Yanks' lineup after 6-game absence

 
New York Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter was in the posted lineup for Monday night's game against Tampa Bay. Jeter hasn't played since leaving a game on April 7 due to a strained left quadriceps muscle. Chad Moeller, whose contract was purchased Monday from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, was listed as the starting catcher. Regular catcher Jorge Posada has been slowed by a right shoulder injury. Backup catcher Jose Molina was out of the lineup. [link]
