TAMPA — Curtis Granderson is on his way back to The Bronx — again.
The power-hitting outfielder — who started the season on the disabled list with a broken right forearm, returned and played just eight games before getting hurt again — appeared in his second minor league game with Single-A Tampa Friday night at Steinbrenner Field, going 0-for-3 with an RBI and handling his lone chance in left field in six innings in the Yankees' 4-3 win over Charlotte.
Granderson said his broken left pinkie finger feels fine, though his timing at the plate isn't where he would like it to be. He has been out since May 24, after getting hit by a pitch on the left hand.
"Body-wise, everything is still good. Hand, fingers, legs, all that stuff is good," Granderson said. "But I'm only six at-bats in, and I can't expect to be locked in two games playing. We're hoping to get closer and closer. That's it."
Granderson said he doesn't expect to use all 20 days of his rehab assignment to rejoin the Yankees, but doesn't want to rush, either.
"I'm looking to accelerate it as fast as I can," Granderson said. "Exactly how many days? Not 100 percent sure. I'm not expecting it to be 20."
Granderson said he likely will play six or seven innings again today for Tampa, at 5:30 p.m. against Charlotte, in left field.

Infielder Jayson Nix (hamstring) appeared in his third game, second with Tampa, and went 1-for-4 with an RBI double, committed an error and made one nice play in seven innings at third base.
Nix said he ran 100 percent and felt no ill effects of the strained right hamstring. He will be at third against for Tampa Saturday night and could play as many as eight innings.
