Kevin Millwood caught an injury from the Yankees:

Texas Rangers pitcher Kevin Millwood was scratched from Thursday's scheduled start against the New York Yankees due to a mild left hamstring strain.

Mike Wood was brought out of the bullpen to replace Millwood and make his first start for Texas. Millwood was hurt Wednesday and Rangers manager Ron Washington said Millwood was pulled from the start as a precaution.

He injured the leg taking batting practice to prepare for interleague play, according to the YES broadcast.

Mike Wood did a good job in an emergency start. He allowed three runs over 6 1/3 innings, and the Yankees lead 3-2 going to the bottom of the seventh.
