Xavier Nady's comeback was derailed Thursday night, as the outfielder pulled himself from a game with Triple-A Scranton after experiencing pain in his injured right elbow.

Nady made throws in the first and third inning, but he lifted himself before the team took the field in the fifth. General manager Brian Cashman spoke with Scranton manager Dave Miley to get the details, but Cashman hadn't spoken with Nady as the Yankees prepared to leave Atlanta.

"It's the thing you're trying to avoid," Cashman said. "It could be the worst-case scenario, but I haven't talked to X yet. We'll wait and see tomorrow, but obviously it's not a good sign."
