Yankees first baseman Orlando Romero will be out 7-8 weeks with a dislocated shoulder. Romero, 30, who is in his first year with the Yanks is the team leader in home runs this season with 23 and RBI with 84.

The team called up Billy Howard from the reserve roster today. The 26-year old rookie was acquired in the off-season from Keokuk and during spring training was a hit among all of the veteran players.

"I think the kid will shine in his chance to show us what he can do," said GM Dark Cloud.

Howard, 26, was a first-round pick of the Comets in 2002 and played his college ball at Ohio State.
