Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Tuesday that Derek Jeter (ankle) could serve as the designated hitter on Opening Day.
Girardi hasn't ruled out the possibility that Jeter will start at shortstop, but it could depend on how his ankle feels. The decision could also be strategic, as the Yankees could use Jeter at DH and Eduardo Nunez at shortstop with Jon Lester expected to pitch for the Red Sox on Opening Day.
