It takes a while for some players to get into a groove. Kevin Youkilis is finally finding his usual groove:

Youkilis scratched from Yankees lineup (left oblique). Will be reevaluated in a couple of days, Girardi said.

Kevin Youkilis said his injury felt like a cramp, not a strain. Wanted to play today but Yanks are being cautious.
