Notebook: Capuano solid in first start

NEW YORK – Chris Capuano can now say he has been a Red Sox and a Yankee in the same season, and he's rather thrilled about it.

The 35-year-old lefty from Massachusetts was purchased by the Yankees from the Colorado organization Thursday, then gave up two runs in six innings in his debut Saturday, taking a no-decision in their 6-4 loss to the Blue Jays at Yankee Stadium. He spent the first three months of the season in Boston's bullpen before being let go.

"It's just kind of surreal," Capuano said. "It's an unbelievable opportunity that I didn't think I was going to have, especially with the trade happening so late a couple of days ago. It kind of came unexpected to me. So, yeah, it's a privilege to play for organizations with that kind of history. Just having a good time and enjoying it right now."

Capuano had primarily been a starter in nine previous major-league seasons before working 28 games in relief for the Red Sox. He had a 1.95 ERA after working 23 of them. That swelled to 4.55 after five June outings and he got released July 1.

So he signed with Colorado and made stops in Double-A Tulsa and Triple-A Colorado Springs to get stretched out as a starter for the Rockies. Four starts did the trick, but the Yankees wanted a more experienced arm for their injury-ravaged rotation and picked him up.

And here he was, the 27th pitcher used by the Yankees this season.

"Everybody's been really welcoming," Capuano said. "It's been a crazy couple of days, but they've made it really comfortable and easy for me to come here and pitch."

Capuano has also been a Met, going 11-12 in 2011.

"The Yankee franchise and Yankee Stadium is a different gig," Capuano said. "Nothing against the Mets franchise. They have a great history as well. But it's just different."

Roberts' non-golden glove: Brian Roberts owns a team-high 10 errors. The 36-year-old second baseman has looked especially shaky in the field lately.

"He's just going through some things that fielders probably go through," Joe Girardi said before the game. "I don't really have any concerns about it."

Teixeira update: Girardi said Mark Teixeira could possibly try to test his back by hitting off a tee and against soft tosses Sunday. Then the Yankees could decide whether or not he needs to be put on the DL.

"I think we'll have a pretty good idea if he's able to do tee and toss tomorrow what we're going to do with him," Girardi said.
