MINNEAPOLIS - All the buzz has been about what Joba Chamberlain can bring by joining the starting rotation, but the Yankees expect another addition - perhaps an equally important one - next week. Catcher Jorge Posada is expected to come off the disabled list during the homestand that begins Tuesday."Sometime next week," manager Joe Girardi said, grinning at the mere idea of getting Posada back.Posada (shoulder tendinitis), who hasn't played since April 26, is expected to catch in an extended spring training game Saturday. For the first time since he went on the DL, he is fully cleared to throw to the bases. He tested his arm in workouts Thursday and came through well. On Friday, he served as a DH."We'll see after [Saturday]," he said. "It's going to be fine. If it feels good, I'll progress from that."
