NEW YORK -- The Toronto Blue
Jays<http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/_/name/tor/toronto-blue-jays>have
scratched Josh
Johnson <http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/6435/josh-johnson> from his
start against the New York
Yankees<http://espn.go.com/mlb/team/_/name/nyy/new-york-yankees>because
of right triceps tightness, and they are sending left-hander Aaron
Laffey <http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/28835/aaron-laffey> to the mound
in his place.

The Blue Jays said Friday the move is precautionary.

Johnson has struggled in four starts since coming to Toronto in an
offseason trade with Miami that also netted Jose
Reyes<http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/5411/jose-reyes>and Mark
Buehrle <http://espn.go.com/mlb/player/_/id/4454/mark-buehrle>. Reyes is on
the disabled list with an injured ankle.

The right-handed Johnson is 0-1 with a 6.86 ERA.

*LOSER*

Klein 9. Klein 9's top starter off to flaccid start as owner deals with *ENTIRE
TEAM DYSFUNCTION.*

*WINNER*

Berliners. As another team collapses, Berliners'  league lead *CONTINUES TO
BULGE.*
