Sheff feeling right again

Gary Sheffield played right field yesterday for the first time since Sept. 7, allowing Hideki Matsui (0-for-4) to serve as the designated hitter and receive some of the "oxygen" Joe Torre believes he needs to recharge for the final week of the regular season.
Sheffield is nursing a sore thigh but his bat still has plenty of life, as he homered and drove in four runs in the Yanks' 8-4 win over Toronto.
"I told (Torre) I'm getting better. Matsui's been dragging lately and Jason (Giambi) is hurting a little," said Sheffield, who lifted a sacrifice fly in the first and drilled a three-run homer in the eighth. "I feel like I can get to balls and make the plays I need to make out there."
