Gardner to return on May 3rd

"Yankees manager Joe Girardi said he expects Brett Gardner to be ready to return from the 15-day disabled list on May 3, when he's eligible.

The Yankees begin a series against the Royals that day. 

"My thought is he will [be ready]," Girardi said. "If it takes a few more days, it takes a few more days." Gardner was placed on the disabled list Wednesday with what was termed as right elbow soreness. An MRI showed a bone bruise and a strained extensor muscle on the outside of his elbow. Andruw Jones and Raul Ibanez will form a platoon in left until Gardner returns. "
