Via the LoHud Yankees Blog:

Xavier Nady had a “sharp pain” in his right elbow in the seventh inning and was taken out of the game.

...

Nady had Tommy John surgery on Sept. 29, 2001. He was injured tonight in the seventh inning when Carlos Pena singled and he threw the ball back to the infield.

“I’m definitely kind of nervous,” Nady said. “But I have to be optimistic. Hopefully it’s scar tissue breaking off. … It was very painful.”

...

Nady will have an MRI tomorrow morning and we should know more by the early afternoon. But it certainly sounds like bad news. For X’s sake, hopefully not.

One could say that's good news for Nick Swisher and possibly for the Yankees if you believe that Swisher was the better option to begin with.
