10/09/2007 - Bronx, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The possibility that Roger Clemens has made the final appearance of his Hall of Fame career became even more likely Monday.
The Yankees replaced him on their AL Division Series roster with lefty reliever Ron Villone and New York was then eliminated from the playoffs, losing Game 4 in its American League Division Series to Cleveland, 6-4.
Per MLB rules, a team can replace an injured player during the division round, but that player is ineligible for the championship series. Clemens, therefore, would not have been able to return to action this postseason unless the Yankees made the World Series.
Clemens left Sunday's playoff game against Cleveland due to a strained left hamstring. Clemens, who was making his 12th career Division Series start and ninth ALDS start, was removed after striking out Victor Martinez for the first out of the third inning.
The Yankees rallied to win the game, 8-4, forcing the fourth game.
The seven-time Cy Young Award winner was making his first start since September 16 due to a similar injury. He left with the Yankees behind in Game 3.
The 45-year-old right-hander, who finished the season 6-6 with a 4.18 ERA, hadn't pitched in the postseason since a hamstring injury forced him out of Game 1 of the 2005 World Series, while with Houston.
Ryan Garko hit an RBI single off Clemens in the first inning, Trot Nixon belted a solo homer with one out in the second, and Clemens walked Travis Hafner to start the third before fanning Martinez. Clemens was charged with four hits and three runs over 2 1/3 innings. He also walked two and had the one strikeout.
Clemens was signed by the Yankees as a free agent to a minor league contract on May 6 this year, his 24th season in the majors. His deal for this year was pro-rated at about $17.4 million.
Villone, 37, was 0-0 with a 4.25 earned run average in 37 appearances with the Yankees in 2007. He recorded one out in Monday's game.

El Duque expected to throw Tuesday
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. -- New York Mets pitcher Orlando Hernandez, sidelined at spring training because of arthritis in his neck, is expected to resume throwing on Tuesday.
Hernandez received a cortisone shot Thursday after leaving camp and returning to New York to have his neck examined. The 41-year-old right-hander is penciled in as the team's No. 2 starter behind Tom Glavine.
El Duque's health is a major issue for the Mets, who won the NL East in 2007 and came within one victory of the World Series. Their aging and unsettled rotation is a big question mark this year.
MySportsbook.com has the Mets as -110 favorites to repeat as NL East champions odds.
Hernandez went 11-11 with a 4.66 ERA last season, including 9-7 with a 4.09 ERA in 20 starts after the Mets acquired him from Arizona in late May. But he missed the playoffs because of a torn calf muscle.
New York already is without Pedro Martinez, out until at least midseason following rotator cuff surgery. Among those competing for starting jobs are prospects Mike Pelfrey, Philip Humber and Jason Vargas, plus veterans Chan Ho Park, Jorge Sosa and Aaron Sele.
Notes: Mets manager Willie Randolph is excited about two new utility players he could have on his bench: Damion Easley and David Newhan. ''Their value is really all over the place,'' Randolph said. Easley can play anywhere in the infield and could be used as an emergency outfielder, though Randolph said he would prefer to keep the veteran in the infield. Newhan, meanwhile, can play second base, third or any outfield position for the Mets. ''I love versatility,'' Randolph said. ''I love guys that can give me options when I need them to step in.''
