Swisher to join Yanks' Triple-A club Thursday

TORONTO -- Nick Swisher believes that he still has enough in the tank to help a contending team. He will get a chance to prove it beginning on Thursday, when the veteran is set to make his debut for Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Swisher, a member of the Yankees' 2009 World Series-winning roster, finalized his Minor League contract on Wednesday and is expected to be in the lineup at PNC Field, where the RailRiders will host Triple-A Syracuse at 6:35 p.m. ET.

"It's something I've missed for a long time that I want back," Swisher told the New York Daily News.
