Jeter received a Cortison shot for ankle

Well this is a great way to get going for Jeter, after playing in only 5 games he has been scratched from two games and had now received a cortisone shot for the mild inflammation in his left ankle today. The Captains day to day and there is a chance that he will not be ready now for opening day, in which case Eduardo Nunez would be the starting shortstop. In order for Jeter to be ready he will need to play a full 9 innings and play in back to back games, there are only 12 days left in spring training so it will be cutting it close.
