AMERICAN LEAGUE Clemens goes after 300 on Monday

Many Yankees are fighting through nagging injuries.
NEW YORK (AP) -- Roger Clemens walked out of the New York Yankees' clubhouse and was immediately intercepted by a familiar face.
"Fat boy," Carlos Delgado called to his old Blue Jays teammate.
They hugged, and Clemens took the Toronto slugger's bat and got into a stance.
The Rocket was playful Friday night, and for good reason -- his bruised right hand was OK, and he was still on target to try for his 300th career win Monday against Boston.
"It's fine, I threw all my pitches," Clemens said after a bullpen session. "It went well."
The same couldn't be said for the rest of the Yankees.
All-Star center fielder Bernie Williams was put on the 15-day disabled list because of a bad knee and shortstop Derek Jeter was a late scratch for Friday night's game because of mild stiffness in his left hamstring.
Jeter's problem didn't appear serious. Manager Joe Torre just did not want to take any chances with Jeter on a field made slick by an all-day rain.
Williams, however, probably will need surgery that would sideline him for four-to-six weeks. He has torn cartilage in his left knee.
As Williams walked through the locker room, someone asked how he was feeling.
"Not too good," he said.
Rivera recalled
The Yankees recalled outfielder Juan Rivera from Triple-A Columbus to take the roster spot, and he was put into the starting lineup, playing left against Toronto.
Rivera hit .265 with one home run and six RBIs in 83 at-bats for the Yankees as a rookie last season. The team liked him enough that he started in the first round of the AL playoffs, going 3-for-12 with three RBIs in four games against Anaheim.
"I gained a lot of confidence last year. It's not like this is my first day and I was nervous," he said through a translator.
Rivera was the victim of an overcrowded outfield this spring, with Hideki Matsui playing left field, and Rivera was sent to the minors. He began the season with a 19-game hitting streak at Columbus, and was batting .327 with two homers and 17 RBIs in 41 games for the Clippers.
