Where are the stats from the Yanks/Twins makeup game?

I'm still trying to figure it out.  For those of you who don't know or care:  the Yanks/Twins game from Tuesday was delayed by rain after 5 innings with the score tied at 0.  The contest was completed the following day with the Yanks winning 1-0.  Day and Travis, who own Jeter and Mariano, respectively, might be wondering why the stats from that early game aren't showing up on their roster.  Jeter hit a solo homer in the early game and Mariano got the save, but neither has been posted to the team...

Yahoo! Help Page says:
If a game is suspended, all player stats still count in all fantasy leagues. Any additional stats earned when play resumes later in the season will be applied retroactively in Rotisserie & Points leagues only; Head-to-Head matchups will already be final (unless resumed play is completed by the end of the following week), so normally these stats won't count. Retroactive stats count for the team who owned the player on the day the game was originally suspended, and will show up on roster and Stat Corrections pages for that day. If the player has changed fantasy teams, the new owner will neither collect stats nor be charged with a game-played for the resumed game.
So, according to this, everything should be fine.  Yahoo! doesn't want to worry about having to go back and potentially change the result of a Head-to-Head matchup if the "real" game is completed 6 weeks later, hence the "unless resumed play is completed by the end of the following week" clause, but that's obviously not the case....

Oh, wait, I just figured it out.  Yahoo! has already recognized the issue but the changes have yet to take place.  The appropriate amendments will be made on Sunday.  Go here to see what changed Yahoo! plans to make.
