Even if the protest was made in a timely manner (it appears it wasn't), and even if the subsequent ruling was that the injury notification was not timely, it would seem to be a stretch to rule that this had an effect on the outcome of the game.

I would be very surprised if MLB rules in the Yankees favor.

What's more, Beckett missed a previous start and was put on the disabled list today. With nobody claiming Beckett was not hurt, common sense should be allowed to prevail, even if the procedure wasn't followed to the letter.
