Yanks say sayonara to Igawa, for now

One day after Darrell Rasner’s 5.2-inning, shut-out performance, the Yanks have wisely decided that he’s a better choice for the rotation than overpriced Japanese import Kei Igawa. As Peter Abraham reports, the Yanks have optioned Igawa to Scranton, and Rasner will keep a rotation spot. So until Hughes comes back and Clemens is ready, the Yanks are going with a rotation of Wang-Pettitte-Mussina-Rasner-Matt De Salvo.
