NEW YORK -- With the Giants already playing without three position players, Buster Posey was forced to come out of Friday's game at Yankee Stadium with a foot contusion.

Posey fouled a ball off his back foot in the second inning. He grimaced, but drew a walk and later hit a single. He appeared to be fine while running the bases. However, Posey was replaced by Trevor Brown when the Giants came back out for the bottom of the fourth.

X-rays were negative and he was diagnosed with a right foot contusion. The Giants said Posey's status is day-to-day.
