The Plan for Pettitte
ByAs Andy Pettitte nears a return from a groin strain, the Yankees mapped out his rehab plan. The lefty will throw a full bullpen session tomorrow, and if he comes out of that feeling well, he’ll throw to live batters in a simulated game on either Thursday or Friday. The next step after that is a rehab start on either Monday or Tuesday, likely High-A Tampa or Double-A Trenton because Triple-A Scranton will be on the road on that point. Pettitte is hopeful he will only need one rehab start, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the team held him back for a second one if they have a decent enough lead in the division.

I still cringe when I read “The Yankees have mapped out a plan.” after the Joba debacle last year.
The Pettitte Rules.
… you know, I’d like to think up a plan for those >:D
I kinda hope its in Trenton because then I could see it.
Road trip!!!!
That’s a big “if,” in terms of the lead, especially pending the outcome of the next two games. Hopefully they find a way to win them with the unfavorable pitching matchups.
Worse case scenario we lose both and still have a 4 game lead. Both Jeff Niemann and Wade Davis are having sore shoulders for Tampa, so they are going to be dealing with unfavorable matchups too for a little while.
I don’t think Beckett vs. Burnett is an unfavorable matchup. It’s really a coin toss with both of them.
/nitpick’d
I read a few days ago that the one thing the Yankees need as much as
more pitching is another big bat. I read elsewhere the Dodgers are so
fed-up with Manny that they would let him go on waivers. The salary the Yanks would have to put up for the rest of the year could make him
a good short term aquisition. He might just behave himself and play
ball for the last 6 or 8 weeks of the season.
