While Matsui's absence is considered precautionary, Jeter lacing up the cleats was never considered.
Jeter has also suffered an oblique injury in past seasons, and it was responsible for a stint on the 15-day disabled list.
The team does not ultimately want to risk additional injury for Jeter, and further derail a Yankees train already riding off the tracks.
Andy Pettitte will have to pitch brilliantly against the league's best lineup, as the offensive firepower behind him will resemble a cap gun more so than a stick of dynamite.
The Yankees need a win badly, and we shall see if the elder statesman will help to supply one.
