That is what unfortunately happened to super utility man Kevin Russo on Sunday, June 24th in Indianapolis. After going three for four in the win, Russo was placed on the seven day disabled list the next day due to a sore right hamstring. http://yankees.scout.com/2/1200815.html 2047 Dan Magida http://yankees.scout.com/2/1200815.html Sun, 08 Jul 2012 15:47:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The Yankees drafted utility infielder Kevin Russo out of Baylor University in the 20th round of the 2006 MLB Draft. All the later round pick has done since then has earned Florida State League All Star honors in 2007, a trip to the Arizona Fall League in 2008, and recently he's been added to the 40-man roster after setting career highs in 2009. http://yankees.scout.com/2/925559.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/925559.html Thu, 03 Dec 2009 02:48:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees We sat down with Yankees minor league defensive infield coordinator Jody Reed for a Q&A session to get his thoughts on whether or not he believes Kevin Russo can handle shortstop in a utility role, if he believes Corban Joseph can stick at second base, if Eduardo Nunez has become a more consistent defender, if he sees Brandon Laird more as a third baseman or a first baseman, and much, much more. http://yankees.scout.com/2/925213.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/925213.html Wed, 02 Dec 2009 04:00:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees We're EXTENDING our "Buy One Month, Get One Month Free" promotion until midnight on WEDNESDAY.

He talks about the injury, his 2008 fall league, the state of the team and the opportunity knocking at the big leagues. http://yankees.scout.com/2/865973.html 2047 Nicholas Turi http://yankees.scout.com/2/865973.html Tue, 19 May 2009 03:33:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Few players drafted as late as Kevin Russo make it to the majors, but that hasn’t stopped the 24-year-old from becoming one of the Yankees better infield prospects. Russo has quickly climbed the organizational ladder since being drafted in 2006, and with a strong 2009 season, the defensive whiz may be ready to take on a utility role in the majors. http://yankees.scout.com/2/858745.html 2047 Dan LaTorraca http://yankees.scout.com/2/858745.html Wed, 22 Apr 2009 03:11:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees The Yankees drafted utility infielder Kevin Russo out of Baylor University in the 20th round of the 2006 MLB Draft. He followed up his 2007 Florida State League All-Star season as a second baseman with another strong showing in Double-A this year as a utility man, enough to earn a trip to the prospect-laden Arizona Fall League and now he's getting close to being a big league utility option. http://yankees.scout.com/2/820322.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/820322.html Thu, 11 Dec 2008 04:04:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Here are the Top 50 Yankees' prospects.

It’s difficult to know which position he will be playing from one day to the next and that's just one reason that Russo is quickly becoming known as a super utility player. http://yankees.scout.com/2/808029.html 2047 John Surget http://yankees.scout.com/2/808029.html Tue, 04 Nov 2008 04:31:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees Do you want to see Kevin Russo in action? Here's a video of the Yankees utility prospect in the Arizona Fall League. http://yankees.scout.com/2/808011.html 2047 John Surget http://yankees.scout.com/2/808011.html Tue, 04 Nov 2008 04:12:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees TAMPA, FL - It wasn't a banner day at the Yankees minor league complex for the Trenton Thunder as they tied the Phillies 8-8 before both teams ran out of pitchers. But while Joba Chamberlain struggled in his one inning of work, Kevin Russo - Tampa's All-Star second baseman last season - continued his hot-hitting. http://yankees.scout.com/2/740550.html 2047 Patrick Teale http://yankees.scout.com/2/740550.html Tue, 25 Mar 2008 21:35:00 GMT 1 303 NY Yankees yankees
