Jorge Posada was scratched from the New York Yankees' lineup minutes before gametime because of a sore left knee.

A Yankees spokesman said Posada experienced left knee soreness and was replaced by Francisco Cervelli.

Posada was originally in manager Joe Girardi's lineup, batting sixth. Cervelli went into the eighth spot, with center fielder Curtis Granderson being moved up from seventh to sixth and first baseman Juan Miranda up one notch to seventh.

Posada went 1 for 3 with a run in the Yankees' 3-2 win Monday night. He is hitting .269 with 12 homers and 38 RBI in 69 games this season.
